UNSPSC 50351568: Frozen organic prime gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50351568 Frozen organic prime gold apples, a Commodity code, addresses a narrow specialty category within the broader food-service supply chain. State and local governments buying under this code procure specific apple varieties—typically frozen, organic-certified, and premium-grade stock—for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show that state and local issuing bodies employ this code narrowly or tag broader grocery and produce categories with it; the actual procurement activity visible under the code focuses on school districts and education authorities sourcing fresh and frozen produce as part of comprehensive food-service contracts covering the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance.

School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Board of Education seeking bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items (including frozen products) due June 30, 2026 under IFB BNB052266; Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties due June 26, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System bidding fresh produce including Fuji apples (estimated 21,125 cases annually) due April 23, 2026; the Douglas County School System procuring fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million due March 4, 2026 through the GEC Buying Cooperative; and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting over 900 line items of grocery items due April 29, 2026. All solicitations mandate Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans, 24/7 food-recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with transportation included, and compliance with whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. The code sees no recent activity outside educational procurement in the source record.
