UNSPSC 50351546: Frozen organic jonamac apples

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

UNSPSC 50351546 Frozen organic jonamac apples is a Commodity code that describes a single frozen-apple product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span far broader food-service procurement—school lunch and breakfast programs are purchasing comprehensive grocery catalogs, fresh produce inventories, and frozen-food assortments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work solicited suggests that frozen jonamac apples, if procured at all by state and local schools, appear within larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with most solicitations emanating from boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) or school system nutrition departments; a state-level food-supplies procurement from Georgia also carries the code tag, though the full scope was not disclosed. None of the recent opportunities identify frozen jonamac apples as a named specification or line item—the opportunities instead enumerate dozens of apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia) and emphasize fresh produce, with frozen products treated as secondary categories within broader frozen-food or grocery procurements.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary presence in Connecticut and scattered school districts across the South. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two major RFPs—one for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated spending of $5.5 million combined (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) and a second for main-line food distribution serving 32 schools with roughly $9 million annual spend (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026). The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) solicited frozen foods and grocery items via IFB for the 2026-27 school year (due May 15, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) opened bids on over 900 grocery-item line items (due April 29, 2026). The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought grocery items across 1,100 line items for school food service (due June 30, 2026). Fresh produce appears prominently in Hancock County and Savannah-Chatham County (both Georgia) RFPs. All opportunities require Buy American compliance with minimum 51% domestic content, HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to school sites on weekly schedules; none explicitly reference frozen jonamac apples, and the code's relevance to actual procurement activity remains unclear.
