UNSPSC 50351593: Frozen organic white transparent apples

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

UNSPSC 50351593 Frozen organic white transparent apples (Commodity) describes a narrow product line within school food service and institutional foodservice procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show little activity tagged directly to this code. The eight recent solicitations in the block span frozen and fresh produce, grocery staples, eggs, and comprehensive food-service distribution for school nutrition programs across multiple states, yet none specifically reference frozen organic apples or organic produce lines. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing offices issue the majority of these solicitations, typically through IFB or RFP with firm fixed-price contracts running July 1 through June 30 to align with school-year budgets. Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed goods) and USDA compliance including HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards appear in nearly every opportunity. Vendors must carry general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence and provide E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and product-specific documentation including nutritional analyses and health inspections.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with $5.5 million estimated annual spending; Hancock County and Decatur IFBs; Savannah-Chatham County Bid 26-34 for fresh produce) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District solicitation for over 900 line items of grocery and produce items), with additional opportunities in Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) and separate Georgia state procurement. Most solicitations bundle fresh and frozen produce together rather than isolating organic or specialty varieties, and pricing is typically based on lowest responsive bid with awards made to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. The code shows no standout repeat buyers requesting frozen organic apples specifically, and no representative recent solicitation names organic produce as a line-item category or lists frozen apples as a distinct bid line.
