UNSPSC 50351531: Frozen organic gloster apples

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

UNSPSC 50351531 Frozen organic gloster apples, a Commodity code, does not reflect the procurement activity currently being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show no demand for frozen organic gloster apples specifically; instead, Gwinnett County, Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, the State of Georgia, and Early County Schools are procuring broad food-service categories including shelf-stable grocery items, fresh produce of multiple varieties, dairy products, meats, and non-food supplies for school nutrition programs, senior services, and general food operations. The code's nominal scope and recent state and local purchasing practice have diverged — school districts and counties are buying fresh apples (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz varieties appear in Hancock County's June 2026 produce RFQ), general grocery inventory, and food-service supplies rather than the specific frozen organic product the code names. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county purchasing offices, municipal school districts, and state procurement departments, with school nutrition programs and food services as the primary end-use drivers.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where Gwinnett County (October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods, due October 19), Hancock County Schools (June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items, due June 26), Early County Schools (June 2026 line-by-line food and non-food bid due June 8), and the State of Georgia (May 2026 bid on food, supplies, and other kitchen products, due June 22) all posted solicitations within the past five months. Connecticut activity is represented by Bridgeport's Board of Education (June 2026 electronic bid for over 1,100 grocery line items through OpenGov portal, due June 30, subject to Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance). Because recent opportunities show no actual procurement of the code's named product, this Commodity code carries little signal for vendors targeting frozen organic apple supply — the activity present is generic food-service provisioning, where fresh-produce and broad-grocery suppliers are the active competitors.
