UNSPSC 50351556: Frozen organic mutsu apples

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

UNSPSC 50351556 Frozen organic mutsu apples (Commodity) does not see active recent procurement activity at the state and local level. The nine most recent opportunities in the source are tagged with this code but involve broad-based school nutrition grocery and fresh produce procurement — including frozen foods, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, vegetables, and condiments spanning 900-plus line items per solicitation. None of these opportunities specifically solicit frozen organic mutsu apples as a line item; the code appears to be a miscategorization or default tag applied to multi-category food-service RFPs rather than a reflection of actual buying patterns for this narrow commodity.

State and local school nutrition programs are the primary soliciting bodies across the recent record, drawn from Georgia (Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). These districts issue IFBs and RFPs for National School Lunch Program compliance with Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), firm-fixed pricing, HACCP plans, and $1 million general liability insurance. Contract periods run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Recommended action: skip this code for active pursuit unless you have specific visibility into a state or local RFP that explicitly names frozen organic mutsu apples as a solicited line item. Monitor school nutrition cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative used by Douglas County) for produce-focused solicitations that may eventually segregate apple varieties into commodity-level line items rather than bundling them into consolidated grocery or produce contracts.
