UNSPSC 50351525: Frozen organic fuji apples

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

UNSPSC 50351525 Frozen organic fuji apples is a Commodity-level code that encompasses fresh and frozen apple procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically tagged to this code. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span school districts of varying sizes, county boards of education, and city education departments, principally in the Southeast and Midwest. The scope of work under the code involves sourcing apples and apple products meeting USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole grain and low-sodium requirements where applicable, and food-safety compliance including HACCP plans, mock recall procedures, and traceability documentation. Delivery is required to central warehouses and individual school sites on standard pallets, Monday through Friday within specified time windows (typically 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), with freight included in quoted prices and no separate fuel surcharges permitted. Vendors must carry general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate minimum, comply with E-Verify and federal debarment requirements, and provide product formulation statements, nutritional analyses, and references from current school-district customers.

Recent solicitations naming apples or fuji apples specifically show activity concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with additional activity in Connecticut and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce procurement (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) itemizes 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually as part of a 72-line-item produce contract for 60 school sites; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) lists multiple apple varieties including Fuji across 200+ produce line items; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) serves 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (bid due April 29, 2026) procures over 900 grocery and produce line items for 6,900 daily lunch participants. No state-level or major municipal procurement of frozen organic Fuji apples specifically has posted in the recent block; the code shows sparse direct activity despite appearing in broader grocery and produce solicitations that bundle apples with dozens of other items.
