UNSPSC 50351564: Frozen organic pink lady apples

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

UNSPSC 50351564 Frozen organic pink lady apples is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broad school nutrition program food service contracts spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items. Recent solicitations show school districts treating this code as one line item within comprehensive grocery and produce procurement — Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) itemizes multiple apple varieties including Honey Crisp and Gala alongside frozen and fresh alternatives; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026) specifies Fuji apples at 21,125 cases annually; and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covers produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and county boards of education pursuing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts, not standalone apple procurement. No recent solicitations name frozen organic pink lady apples specifically; instead, districts list general apple varieties, frozen produce categories, or fresh commodity aggregates.

Solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County School System), with additional recent activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Georgia state-level procurement. All recent opportunities with posted dates between January 2026 and June 2026 frame apple procurement as one component within food service contracts ranging from 72 to 900+ line items, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options common. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, general liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate), and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges. No recent opportunities show isolated demand for frozen organic pink lady apples; the code sees activity only as a line item within district-wide produce and grocery programs.
