UNSPSC 50351569: Frozen organic red astrachan apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic red astrachan apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351569 Frozen organic red astrachan apples, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and frozen apple products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal activity specifically targeting the named product. The recent opportunities under the code span school nutrition programs, senior services, and other institutional food operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county departments of community services, city boards of education, and state procurement offices. School districts represent the dominant buyer type, with multiple districts soliciting comprehensive food contracts that encompass fresh and frozen produce alongside shelf-stable items. Recent solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance, and compliance with the National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners have posted recent produce and food bids; Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Board of Education also solicited comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, requesting bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce (including multiple apple varieties) due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces) on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026.
