UNSPSC 50341596: Frozen york imperial apples

The variety of apples known as york imperial apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341596 Frozen York Imperial Apples is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen apple products. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and indirect; no solicitations specifically name frozen York Imperial apples as a line item. The code appears in institutional food-service procurement contexts—state hospital and supported living center food contracts, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility food procurement—where apples and frozen apple products are components of broader grocery or produce baskets rather than standalone commodity buys. The most concrete connection appears in school district fresh produce solicitations (such as the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce bid and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce procurement) where apple varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz apples are itemized, though these cite fresh rather than frozen York Imperial specifically.

The issuing-body mix reflects institutional food service across state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county education boards. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer (IFB HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital groceries and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center), along with multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Early County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Decatur, Fulton County) and other states' school systems (Missouri, Connecticut). Activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, and in Texas institutional procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS 2026-27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (IFB HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026, covering 110+ line items of food service supplies with historical annual spend of $32,226.36), the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce bid for school year 2027 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, with 200+ fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce annual contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026, itemizing 72 fresh produce products with Fuji apples at 21,125 cases annually). The code signals institutional food procurement activity but shows limited specificity to frozen York Imperial apples as a distinct line item in recent solicitations.
