UNSPSC 50351545: Frozen organic jonagold apples

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

UNSPSC 50351545 Frozen organic jonagold apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specialized frozen apple varieties for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs operating under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Recent solicitations show frozen produce being bought as part of larger comprehensive grocery and food-supply contracts rather than as discrete commodity procurements. The code reflects a narrow product line within the broader school nutrition buying patterns, where frozen apples appear alongside dozens of other frozen and fresh produce items, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods in single-award or multi-award arrangements. School districts and boards of education are the dominant issuing bodies under this code, contracting for delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites with compliance to USDA Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP food safety plans, and adherence to the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and the broader Southeast. Recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas (estimated annual value $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, due March 4, 2026); the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items spanning multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026); the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce bid (due April 23, 2026); the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri grocery items solicitation encompassing over 900 line items with electronic bid submission due April 29, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education grocery items bid spanning 1,100+ line items with electronic submission due June 30, 2026. These solicitations typically run July 1 through June 30 annual contracts with firm pricing throughout the period, no separate fuel surcharges, Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms, and reserved right to extend or renew. Vendors must maintain $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability insurance, provide E-Verify authorization, submit HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and comply with federal debarment and non-discrimination certifications.
