UNSPSC 50351540: Frozen organic howgate wonder apples

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

UNSPSC 50351540 Frozen organic howgate wonder apples (Commodity) describes a narrow product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent solicitation. The recent opportunities provided are tagged to this code but encompass broad grocery and food service procurement — school lunch programs, frozen foods, fresh produce, and comprehensive food supply — rather than a specific apple variety. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the posting systems or that frozen organic howgate wonder apples, if procured at all, arrive as line items within larger food-service RFPs rather than as standalone commodity buys.

The school districts and municipal education departments issuing these solicitations (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, and Early County Board of Education) collectively represent the primary demand base, with activity concentrated in Georgia and scattered across Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases grocery items IFB (response deadline June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (June 26, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items bid (April 29, 2026, electronic submission required). The State of Georgia also issued a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. All contracts align with National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP protocols, and delivery to school sites on firm-fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. No solicitations specifically request frozen organic howgate wonder apples as a distinct line item or contract focus. If pursuing this code, verify whether the specific apple variety or a frozen-apple category actually appears in the RFP attachments or addenda, as the summary-level descriptions do not confirm distinct procurement of this commodity.
