UNSPSC 50351587: Frozen organic tsugaru apples

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

UNSPSC 50351587 Frozen organic tsugaru apples, a Commodity code, covers specialty frozen apple products sourced for school meal programs and institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct procurement activity. The two Georgia school districts that posted fresh produce solicitations (Douglas County School System and Hancock County Board of Education) specified dozens of apple varieties in their line items—Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, and Ambrosia—but did not specifically call out frozen or organic tsugaru apples. School nutrition programs soliciting under nearby commodity codes (fresh produce, frozen foods and grocery items, food supply and distribution) typically source apples fresh rather than frozen, and when frozen products appear, they remain listed generically within broader frozen-produce or frozen-food aggregates rather than as a named specialty item. The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are exclusively school districts and school systems—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Douglas County School System—reflecting the primary state and local market for institutional food procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with the bulk of recent solicitations (six of eight opportunities) posted by Georgia school districts and systems. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut account for the remaining two. The Bridgeport Board of Education issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (due June 30, 2026) requiring Buy American compliance and meeting Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards, and Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items (due June 26, 2026) specifying multiple apple varieties by name but not frozen or organic variants. No recent solicitations name frozen organic tsugaru apples as a discrete line item or contract focus, and no vendor awards under this specific commodity have been identified in the source material. The code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
