UNSPSC 50351511: Frozen organic codlin apples

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

UNSPSC 50351511 Frozen organic codlin apples is a Commodity code capturing a narrowly specialized agricultural product line. State and local governments procure frozen organic codlin apples almost exclusively as line items within broader school nutrition contracts that aggregate dozens or hundreds of food products for child nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch under the National School Lunch Program. The recent solicitation record shows no standalone frozen codlin apple procurements; instead, the code appears in multi-hundred-line-item grocery and produce RFPs where individual apple varieties (including organic, frozen, and fresh variants across Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, and Jazz types) are listed alongside other fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education at the city and county level (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Early County Board of Education in Georgia), supported by occasional broader-scope solicitations from state agencies (State of Georgia) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia). All procurements mandate Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, compliance with whole-grain and low-sodium nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety plans, and firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and extends to Connecticut and Missouri.
