UNSPSC 50351532: Frozen organic gold supreme apples

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

UNSPSC 50351532 Frozen organic gold supreme apples, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual buying activity in recent state and local school nutrition solicitations. The code's narrow product specification—frozen organic gold supreme apples—appears disconnected from what school districts are actually procuring. Recent opportunities under this code tag show school nutrition programs soliciting comprehensive fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items spanning dozens of apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Jazz), alongside berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, processed produce, meats, dairy, and prepared entrees. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the breadth of items in actual procurement suggests either persistent miscoding by issuing bodies or a code designation that does not align with how state and local governments are categorizing school nutrition supply contracts.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and multistate cooperative purchasing through the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts through a regional cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area (proposals due March 4, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for ten school sites (due May 15, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items serving approximately 19,000 students (bids due April 29, 2026). All contracts run July 1 through June 30 on fixed pricing with Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday.
