UNSPSC 50351508: Frozen organic calville blanche d'hiver apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic calville blanche d'hiver apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351508 Frozen organic calville blanche d'hiver apples is a Commodity code covering a single agricultural product line, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no solicitations specifically for frozen organic apples. The opportunities posted under this code span broad food procurement for school nutrition programs and county services, encompassing fresh produce, shelf-stable grocery items, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies — a scope substantially divergent from the code's nominal product. State and local governments do procure food items through formal bidding (IFB, RFP, RFQ), often with strict compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), USDA nutrition standards, HACCP plans, liability insurance, and multi-week Q&A and addenda cycles. However, the opportunities captured under this code do not reflect procurement of the specific product — frozen organic Calville Blanche d'Hiver apples — that the code nominally describes.

Recent activity under this code centers on school districts and county service departments in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited food and non-food products for the National School Lunch Program with a June 8, 2026 deadline; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) sought grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department with electronic bids due June 30, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied specifically to frozen organic apples and appears to capture general food procurement rather than this commodity's intended scope.
