UNSPSC 50351585: Frozen organic stayman winesap apples

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

UNSPSC 50351585 Frozen organic stayman winesap apples, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a single frozen produce line item, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are buying broad food-supply portfolios that encompass fresh and frozen produce, protein, dairy, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education, with occasional activity from county social-services departments and state procurement offices. Solicitations under this code reflect a steady stream of food-service procurement tied to federal nutrition-program compliance—specifically the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural commodity content—and increasingly emphasize whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, allergen-free products, and HACCP food-safety protocols.
