UNSPSC 50351559: Frozen organic orleans reinette apples

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

UNSPSC 50351559 Frozen organic orleans reinette apples is a Commodity code that describes a highly specific fresh or frozen apple variety; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct procurement of this particular product line. The most recent solicitations in the dataset target broad food-service procurement — shelf-stable goods, fresh produce assortments, dairy, proteins, and frozen items for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service — rather than frozen organic apples by varietal name. School districts and county social-services agencies are the primary buyers, issuing competitive sealed-bid solicitations (IFB/ITB) or informal quotes (RFQ) for multi-line-item food contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and other nutrition initiatives. Vendors responding to these bids typically supply dozens or hundreds of food-service line items under single contracts, with pricing evaluated per unit of measure and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders; Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items) and HACCP compliance are standard requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Lawrenceville, Georgia) sought informal quotes on approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a due date of October 19, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products due June 8, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Bridgeport, Connecticut) sought bids on over 1,100 grocery-line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia also posted a broad food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) without detailed scope. The code shows activity in school-nutrition and senior-services procurement but little evidence of demand for frozen organic orleans reinette apples as a standalone line item or specialty product in recent state and local opportunities.
