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 that state and local governments solicit under food procurement for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The recent solicitations tagged with this code show that purchasing offices are actually buying fresh and frozen produce of multiple varieties—including fresh apples (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and other fresh items—rather than the narrowly named frozen katy apple variety alone. The code appears in bids issued by school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county senior services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state purchasing (State of Georgia). Work spans shelf-stable and fresh produce items, with vendors required to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional compliance with federal meal standards, and delivery commitments to multiple school and service sites on firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026 under IFB #SN002-2027, covering over 200 line items of fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus for delivery to three school locations. Early County Board of Education posted a food bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300 food items plus non-food and paper supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with firm pricing and no separate fuel charges. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes due October 19, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables—for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items subject to Buy American, blind testing, and $1,000,000 minimum liability insurance per occurrence.
