UNSPSC 50351586: Frozen organic summer rambo apples

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

UNSPSC 50351586 Frozen organic summer rambo apples (Commodity) represents a niche specialty produce category within broader school nutrition procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not materially reflect procurement of the specific commodity named. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—all school districts or state agencies—have posted solicitations for grocery items, fresh produce, and food supply services during the 2026–27 school year. These procurements span hundreds of line items each, encompassing apples (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz varieties), berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty produce alongside frozen and shelf-stable grocery products, snacks, dairy, meats, grains, beverages, and condiments. The issuing bodies are consistently K–12 school districts and state food procurement offices. The notices specify compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP plans, food recall procedures, whole-grain and nutrition standards aligned with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions, Net 30–45 day payment terms, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during defined hours.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, and the state procurement) and Connecticut (Bridgeport), with representation from Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, St. Louis County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's BNB052266 (GROCERY ITEMS, due June 30, 2026, IFB via OpenGov e-Procurement Portal covering 1,100+ line items), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (fresh produce, 200+ items with multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (300+ food items, 60+ non-food supplies, due June 8, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia areas, approximately $5.5 million total estimated annual spend, due March 4, 2026). These procurements indicate that state and local governments are actively bundling commodity purchases into multi-item supply contracts and cooperative vehicles rather than sourcing discrete specialty items like organic summer rambo apples in isolation; vendors pursuing this code should expect participation in larger produce or grocery frameworks.
