UNSPSC 50351547: Frozen organic jonathan apples

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

UNSPSC 50351547 Frozen organic jonathan apples is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader fresh and frozen produce category that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, senior services, and other food-service operations. The code describes a specific apple variety in frozen form, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show that issuing bodies are actually purchasing much broader fresh and frozen produce portfolios, shelf-stable grocery items, and complete food-service supplies. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, and canned vegetables through an informal written quote process; the City of Bridgeport sought over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, frozen products, dairy, and meats for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under a formal bid; and Hancock County Board of Education requested over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily county and city school districts, county departments of community services, and state procurement offices. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program subject to Buy American provisions requiring domestic sourcing (typically 51 percent minimum agricultural content) and adherence to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.

Geographic activity centers in Georgia, Connecticut, and across multiple states within the Southeast and beyond, with recent opportunities concentrated among school districts. The Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026 covering apple varieties including Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp with delivery to three school locations for the full fiscal year July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted an RFQ for grocery items due June 30, 2026 with contract term July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 and potential one-year extension, requiring blind testing by school personnel and laboratory technicians, $1,000,000 minimum general liability insurance, and compliance with nutritional standards and printed labeling requirements. Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes due October 19, 2026 with delivery to the Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought line-by-line bids due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies across three schools for the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract period. The State of Georgia posted a bids solicitation due June 22, 2026 for food and kitchen products with full scope details contained in an attached document.
