UNSPSC 50351594 Frozen organic winesap apples is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, but recent state and local procurement activity shows school food service operations buying broadly across fresh and frozen produce, grocery staples, and protein items to support breakfast and lunch programs under the National School Lunch Program. The code's nominal scope—organic frozen winesap apples—does not align with the actual work being solicited: school districts and city boards of education are procuring comprehensive produce catalogs spanning dozens of apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and leafy greens, together with frozen foods, grocery items, dairy, meats, and supplies on annual contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) alongside one state procurement (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions source through competitive sealed-bid IFB and RFP processes, often through e-procurement portals such as OpenGov, Bonfire, and NUTRIKIDS, and a few coordinate across multiple districts using cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative).
