UNSPSC 50351572: Frozen organic red delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50351572 Frozen organic red delicious apples is a Commodity code that describes a specialized agricultural product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for frozen organic red delicious apples specifically. Instead, the opportunities filed under this code involve broad-based school nutrition and food service procurement—frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, eggs, and full-line food distribution—where frozen organic red delicious apples would be one line item among hundreds in larger food supply contracts. State and local buyers pursuing this code are primarily school districts and school boards, including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The code also appears in state-level procurement: the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with details confined to an attached document. The pattern reflects centralized school nutrition procurement where frozen produce is embedded in larger commodity bundles rather than procured in isolation.

Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Georgia and Connecticut, with activity spanning the first half of 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic bids due June 30, 2026, incorporating frozen products subject to Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content) and delivery to central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items, multiple apple varieties) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 to three schools across the 2026–27 school year; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System annual fresh produce contract (72 items, 21,125 cases of Fuji apples estimated annually) with sealed bids due April 23, 2026. Frozen organic red delicious apples as a standalone commodity does not appear prominently in recent notices; opportunities mention Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, and Jazz varieties but do not isolate organic or red delicious specifications. All school nutrition contracts enforce HACCP plans, USDA compliance with Buy American thresholds, firm pricing, no fuel surcharges, Net 30–45 day payment terms, and delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites. Vendors typically must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance and provide E-Verify authorization and food recall procedures.
