UNSPSC 50351501: Frozen organic akane apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic akane apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351501 Frozen organic akane apples (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local opportunities in the source block. The nine opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span school nutrition procurement for comprehensive grocery assortments, fresh produce line items, and food service distribution — none specifically solicit frozen organic akane apples or any frozen apple product by variety. The code's nominal scope is narrow and specialized; the opportunities are broad-based school meals contracts where apples (fresh and occasionally processed in mixed-produce line items) appear among dozens of competing commodities, not as a standalone category. School districts and their food service partners source apples primarily as fresh produce delivered to central warehouses or school sites, not as frozen specialty items, and the dominant buying pattern under these opportunities centers on USDA-compliant, domestic-sourced produce and grocery items meeting National School Lunch Program standards.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent dedicated solicitations. When apples appear in the recent opportunities — such as the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (fresh produce and eggs, due March 4, 2026) and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) — they are offered as fresh varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia) alongside dozens of other produce items, not as frozen or organic specialty products. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the actual procurement landscape suggests limited or no current demand for frozen organic akane apples under state and local government contracts.
