UNSPSC 50351595: Frozen organic worcester apples

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

UNSPSC 50351595 Frozen organic worcester apples (Commodity) covers specialized frozen-fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent state and local procurement record shows minimal direct activity under this specific commodity code. The code captures frozen versions of a named apple variety intended for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and institutional cafeteria operations. In practice, state and local buyers soliciting under this designation are seeking products that meet USDA compliance (including Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content), whole-grain and nutrition standards set by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and food-safety certification including HACCP plans and 24/7 food-recall accessibility. Products must arrive with printed nutritional information, carry no tree nuts or nut oils, and meet specified packaging and temperature standards upon delivery.

School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Decatur City Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The geographic concentration is heavily in Georgia, with Missouri and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) represented in the recent record. The Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce (June 26, 2026 response date) and the Early County Schools bid for food products (June 8, 2026) are representative recent opportunities, though neither is tagged exclusively to frozen organic apples; both solicit across broad produce categories that may include this commodity as a line item among hundreds of others. The State of Georgia food-supplies bid (June 22, 2026) and the Douglas County cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (March 4, 2026 response date) similarly treat frozen or fresh apple products as embedded within larger multi-item food-service contracts rather than as standalone line-item procurements.
