UNSPSC 50351583: Frozen organic starking apples

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

UNSPSC 50351583 Frozen organic starking apples, a Commodity code, covers frozen apple products procured by state and local governments, though recent opportunities tagged under this code focus predominantly on broader fresh and shelf-stable food procurement rather than frozen specialty apples specifically. State and local food procurement under this code spans school districts, county governments, and state purchasing offices acquiring food items to support the National School Lunch Program, school breakfast programs, and community services operations. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have all posted food procurement opportunities in the past six months. School districts represent the largest issuing-body segment, with food procurement driven by federal nutrition program compliance requirements (Buy American provisions, whole-grain standards, nut-free formulations, nutritional labeling, and USDA-compliant pricing). County and state agencies supplement district activity with procurement for senior services and institutional food services.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce itemizes over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz); bids closed June 26, 2026. Early County Board of Education's May 2026 IFB solicited approximately 300+ food items (meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains) with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB covered over 1,100 grocery line items (breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, meat) with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 and mandatory compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, $1,000,000 commercial liability insurance, and blind testing of samples. Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for the Department of Community Services requested 1,062 cases across 35 food line items with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a May 2026 IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026. The code shows no recent activity specific to frozen organic starking apples; opportunities tagged under it reflect general food-service procurement where apple products are line items within broader solicitations.
