UNSPSC 50351571: Frozen organic red chief apples

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

UNSPSC 50351571 Frozen organic red chief apples is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific frozen apple product, but state and local procurement activity tagged under this code spans broadly across bulk food procurement for school districts, county social services, and municipal food programs—including shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods rather than frozen organic apples specifically. The sourcing reflects purchasing operations for child nutrition programs, senior services, and school breakfast and lunch initiatives, where food vendors supply multiple product categories on volume contracts with firm pricing, standard delivery windows, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), city school systems (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state-level purchasing (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities span Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and at least one state-level vehicle. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items with delivery through June 2027; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with October 19, 2026 due date; City of Bridgeport's June 2026 electronic bid for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program with firm pricing through June 2027; and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for food and non-food products across approximately 300+ food items and 60 supply line items. All contracts emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and compliance with federal child nutrition program regulations.
