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, names a narrow product line that state and local governments seldom solicit in isolation. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic ida red apples specifically; instead, the code has been tagged to broad food-service solicitations encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for food items to support senior services, the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for school breakfast and lunch groceries, Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties and other crops, Early County Schools' June 2026 line-by-line food bid, and the State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and kitchen products bid all carry this code despite their much broader scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the jurisdiction level or use of the code as a catch-all tag for food-service purchasing. Actual buying activity under the code appears minimal when frozen organic ida red apples are the target product.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia — Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia all posted solicitations in the second and third quarters of 2026 — and Connecticut, represented by the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June bid. The issuing-body mix spans county boards of education (Gwinnett, Hancock, Early), a city school district (Bridgeport), a county government serving seniors (Gwinnett), and the state government. School food-service programs generate the majority of visible activity, typically structured as annual IFB or line-by-line bids with firm pricing for the school year (July through June) and response deadlines in May through October. A vendor targeting frozen organic ida red apples specifically should monitor broader school nutrition and senior services food solicitations but recognize that the code's nominal scope rarely appears as a standalone line item; competition typically runs through multivendor awards or split awards on large consolidated buys rather than narrow single-product contracts.
