UNSPSC 50351518 Frozen organic delicious apples (Commodity) represents fresh and frozen produce items procured by school districts and municipalities to support child nutrition programs, with recent activity concentrated on bulk fresh produce and apple varieties supplied through school food service contracts.

The State of Georgia also procured food supplies and kitchen products under a May 2026 solicitation. The scope of work centers on sourcing fresh apples (including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, and Jazz varieties) alongside complementary fresh produce items such as berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and citrus for delivery to school sites Monday through Friday. All solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content), HACCP compliance with 24/7 food recall accessibility, firm pricing with no separate fuel surcharges, adherence to whole grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
