UNSPSC 50351590: Frozen organic vistabella apples

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

UNSPSC 50351590 Frozen organic vistabella apples, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable and fresh produce items that state and local governments purchase for school meal programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional food operations. While the code name specifies frozen organic apples, the recent solicitations under this code reflect a broader scope of food procurement — school districts and county departments are buying produce across multiple categories including fresh fruits (apples of various varieties, berries, citrus, melons), vegetables (cruciferous, root, and leafy greens), dairy, proteins, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies to support National School Lunch Program operations and community nutrition initiatives. State and local issuing bodies active under this code include school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts appear as the dominant buyer, driven by federal nutrition-program compliance and annual supply cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut based on recent solicitations. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, specialty fruits) with bids due June 26, 2026, targeting delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027.
