UNSPSC 50351575: Frozen organic red stayman apples

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

UNSPSC 50351575 Frozen organic red Stayman apples is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader food-service procurement activity of state and local government. The code describes frozen organic apples of a specific cultivar, yet recent state and local solicitations show that school districts and other public bodies procure frozen apples as line items within much larger, aggregated food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. School nutrition programs across the country are sourcing frozen produce, including apples, as part of comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce solicitations that also encompass proteins, grains, dairy, vegetables, and prepared items. The actual work under this code consists of vendors supplying frozen organic red Stayman apples to school nutrition programs, typically with firm pricing over a contract year, delivery to multiple school sites on a weekly or as-needed basis, compliance with USDA Buy American and nutrition standards (including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements where applicable), and participation in school-district ordering systems such as LINQ or NUTRIKIDS.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri have posted the most recent activity for frozen and fresh produce procurement. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS), the City Schools of Decatur, the Hancock County Board of Education, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; and the Early County Board of Education in Georgia all solicited produce and grocery items in 2026. Representative opportunities include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (IFB, due April 23, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' BNB052266 for grocery items including frozen products (due June 30, 2026). The Douglas County School System issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with an estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million for fresh produce and eggs. Issuance patterns suggest sustained and competitive procurement activity across school districts and municipalities in the Southeast, with contracts typically running July 1 through June 30 and awards made on a line-item basis to multiple vendors.
