UNSPSC 50351582: Frozen organic stark crimson apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic stark crimson apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351582 Frozen organic stark crimson apples is a Commodity code that describes fresh and frozen apple products, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly reflect procurement of broad grocery and fresh-produce assortments for school nutrition programs rather than single-item frozen apple purchases. School districts, county boards of education, and city school systems are the primary issuing bodies, sourcing produce and prepared foods to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across elementary, middle, and high school sites. Representative work includes the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats) with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items spanning multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, and citrus; and Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 solicitation for over 900 grocery line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees. All recent solicitations enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products where applicable), HACCP compliance, 24/7 food recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites on Monday-through-Friday schedules.

Recent activity spans Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), with Georgia school districts representing the largest concentration of recent solicitations. The Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serves 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; a separate February 2026 RFP from the same district for food supply and distribution services estimates approximately $9 million in annual expenditure. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, response dates clustered from March through June 2026, and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a single or multiple vendor basis. No set-asides for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
