UNSPSC 50351510: Frozen organic charles ross apples

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

UNSPSC 50351510 Frozen organic charles ross apples is a Commodity code covering the procurement of frozen organic apples for state and local nutrition programs, school food services, and institutional kitchens. State and local governments buy frozen apple products primarily through school district food service contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Solicitations under this code span a broad range of grocery and produce procurement vehicles but consolidate around fresh and frozen produce line items within larger food service aggregations. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies—Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) have all posted food service RFPs and IFBs in recent months. The Commodity code appears across larger grocery and produce contracts where apples (fresh and frozen) represent one line item among hundreds; only the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 explicitly names fresh produce and eggs as a standalone category, while other districts fold frozen organic apple products into comprehensive food supply bids spanning snacks, vegetables, fruits, breads, meats, and condiments.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Early County, Decatur City Schools, and the State of Georgia) with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood School District). The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004, issued January 21, 2026 with proposal due March 4, 2026, covers fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 (posted March 22, 2026, due April 23, 2026) procures 72 fresh produce items including apples with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples alone. The Bridgeport Board of Education solicitation BNB052266 (posted June 30, 2026, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 grocery line items with frozen products included, subject to Buy American Provision requirements and the National School Lunch Program compliance standards. All recent school district contracts impose Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, firm pricing for the full contract term (typically July 1 through June 30), no separate fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during standard business hours.
