UNSPSC 50351558: Frozen organic northern spy apples

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

UNSPSC 50351558 Frozen organic northern spy apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow and specialized food product with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a single frozen produce item — organic northern spy apples in frozen form — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad, multi-item food procurement including shelf-stable pantry goods, school lunch program staples across breakfast items, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and proteins, fresh produce for school nutrition, and mixed food and non-food supplies for school districts and county services. The mismatch between the code's specific scope (frozen organic northern spy apples) and the general grocery and produce categories under which opportunities are actually being solicited suggests minimal directed purchasing for this particular product line. The issuing bodies soliciting food products across these opportunities include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), municipal school systems (Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), and state agencies (State of Georgia).

Recent opportunities show school districts and county services as the primary buyers of food products in this category tier, with the State of Georgia, Gwinnett County, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County) posting competitive solicitations between May and October 2026. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year via IFB with a June 26, 2026 due date, encompassing over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties. Early County Board of Education posted an IFB for line-by-line food and non-food product bids with a June 8, 2026 response date covering approximately 300 food items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote request (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, due October 19, 2026, for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport posted a bid for over 1,100 grocery line items for the school board's Food & Nutrition Services supporting the National School Lunch Program, with a June 30, 2026 deadline. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut; no recent opportunities show procurement specifically for frozen organic northern spy apples.
