UNSPSC 50351548: Frozen organic katy apples

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

UNSPSC 50351548 Frozen organic katy apples is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader school nutrition contracts. The recent opportunities show that frozen organic apples appear alongside dozens or hundreds of other food items in comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce solicitations issued by school districts. The work being solicited involves supplying fresh and frozen produce, including apples in various forms, to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies under this code—the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System all posted opportunities in the recent block. These school districts typically solicit on a line-item basis and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often designating multiple vendors to supply different product categories.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and extends into Connecticut and Missouri. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce on June 10, 2026 with a June 26 due date, specifying over 200 fresh produce items including multiple apple varieties; the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 covering over 1,100 grocery line items; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted a fresh produce bid on March 22, 2026 with April 23 due date, estimating 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026. All school districts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products in many jurisdictions), HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, insurance (typically $1 million general liability per occurrence and $2 million aggregate), and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements. Contracts uniformly run July 1 through June 30, with pricing firm throughout the contract period and no fuel surcharges permitted.
