UNSPSC 50351505: Frozen organic braeburn apples

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

UNSPSC 50351505 Frozen organic braeburn apples is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school district food service contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Recent solicitations show that frozen and fresh produce — including multiple apple varieties — appear as line items within much broader grocery and food service RFQs and IFBs issued by school districts, rather than as standalone procurement of a single frozen apple variety. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of school nutrition procurement where districts seek comprehensive food supply from vendors capable of delivering 200 to 1,100+ line items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems of varying sizes, from small rural districts to large metropolitan school systems serving tens of thousands of students daily.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with procurement from the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS), Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and the State of Georgia all posting produce-inclusive solicitations between February and June 2026. Activity also appears in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education, June 2026) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, April 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the SCCPSS fresh produce contract (Bid 2634, due April 23, 2026) specifying 72 fresh produce items with 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually; the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) listing multiple apple varieties alongside other produce; and the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $5.5 million combined estimated annual spending. All solicitations require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, firm pricing for the contract period, prepaid delivery to school sites, and Net 30 to Net 45 day payment terms.
