UNSPSC 50351567: Frozen organic pomme d'api apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic pomme d'api apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351567 Frozen organic pomme d'api apples (Commodity) covers frozen apple products procured by school districts and counties for child nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal targeted procurement specifically under this code. Instead, school nutrition solicitations across the recent sample span broad grocery and produce categories that may include frozen apples as line items within larger multi-hundred or multi-thousand line-item food service contracts. State and local buyers under this commodity family are primarily school districts and county boards of education serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; these entities source frozen produce alongside fresh produce, frozen entrées, dairy, grains, and other food service staples as part of consolidated annual food service contracts. The issuing bodies are geographically diverse school districts and county systems managing child nutrition operations, supported in some cases by cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative that aggregates demand across multiple districts.

Recent activity shows school nutrition procurement concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, with representative solicitations including the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning multiple apple varieties and delivery to three schools; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri's comprehensive grocery items bid (due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract (due April 23, 2026) requesting 72 produce items including apples in quantities exceeding 21,000 cases annually; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by region. All school nutrition contracts require Buy American compliance (51% domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, firm pricing throughout the contract term with limited midterm adjustment provisions tied to documented market conditions or manufacturer increases, and delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending up to three to five years at the school district's discretion.
