UNSPSC 50351521: Frozen organic early mcintosh apples

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

UNSPSC 50351521 Frozen organic early McIntosh apples, a Commodity code, addresses the procurement of specialty frozen apple products for state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity. The code nominally encompasses frozen organic early McIntosh apple products, but the most recent opportunities posted under or near this code actually solicit broad food procurement across shelf-stable items, fresh produce, grocery staples, and meal-service supplies spanning multiple product categories rather than frozen apples specifically. State and local buyers using this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-level food service procurement (State of Georgia). The issuing bodies are primarily K-12 school nutrition programs supported by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding, along with county senior services and state food supply operations.

Recent opportunities in Georgia and Connecticut show the broadest activity. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) for school year 2027, with bids due June 26, 2026. Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies for the 2026–27 school year, with bids due June 8, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted an RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's nutrition program, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American Provision requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items via IWQ, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. The code shows limited direct frozen apple procurement; recent activity clusters primarily around fresh produce, bulk grocery items, and integrated school nutrition supply contracts rather than specialty frozen organic apple products alone.
