UNSPSC 50351541: Frozen organic ida red apples

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

UNSPSC 50351541 Frozen organic Ida red apples, a Commodity code, encompasses whole apple products delivered to school nutrition programs and other institutional food services. State and local governments procure frozen apples as one line item within broader grocery and produce solicitations that support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Recent opportunities show apples embedded in comprehensive food-service bids—schools and districts solicit frozen and fresh produce alongside dozens or hundreds of other items in single RFPs or IFBs rather than standalone apple contracts. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and school boards, including independent city school systems, county boards of education, and cooperative purchasing vehicles operated by school districts. Across recent solicitations, districts range from small rural boards to large urban systems serving thousands of students daily.

Georgia and Missouri dominate recent activity under this code. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued a cooperative buying RFP in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued a fresh produce bid in March 2026 covering 72 line items including apples with estimated annual quantities of 21,125 cases for Fuji apples alone; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce with multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) in an IFB due June 26, 2026; and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026. In Missouri, Rockwood R-VI School District solicited grocery items for over 900 line items across approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants through an electronic NUTRIKIDS system with bids due April 29, 2026. Connecticut's City of Bridgeport sought grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items with bids due June 30, 2026, and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested approximately 300+ food items due June 8, 2026. All contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually, require firm pricing with limited midterm escalation tied to market indices or manufacturer documentation, and mandate Buy American compliance with at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable, HACCP plans, food recall procedures, and delivery to school sites Monday through Friday during specified morning hours.
