UNSPSC 50351573: Frozen organic red gravenstein apples

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

UNSPSC 50351573 Frozen organic red gravenstein apples is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed fruit procurement for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show the code is applied broadly across grocery and produce solicitations rather than to frozen gravenstein apples specifically. State and local governments buy produce and grocery items under this code through school district nutrition programs and municipal food service operations. The solicitations span comprehensive food service contracts—frozen and fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies—rather than single commodity lines. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Decatur City Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and occasionally municipal and state procurement offices. School districts dominate the recent opportunity mix, bidding annual contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and school breakfast programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary procurement in Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items RFQ (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements and firm pricing through June 2027; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB #SN002-2027 (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 produce items across multiple apple and berry varieties; the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with electronic NUTRIKIDS submission; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two.
