UNSPSC 50351542: Frozen organic james grieve apples

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

UNSPSC 50351542 Frozen organic James Grieve apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement—state and local education agencies are buying frozen organic apple products as components of larger breakfast and lunch service contracts. Recent solicitations show that frozen apple products appear as line items within comprehensive grocery and produce bids rather than standalone procurements; they are specified alongside fresh produce varieties, frozen vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy as part of broad foodservice supply agreements supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, with occasional city procurement offices managing school nutrition on behalf of education agencies. The scope emphasizes compliance with USDA Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and HACCP food safety protocols.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut).

City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI's grocery items bid (due April 29, 2026) further illustrate the competitive landscape.
