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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement that state and local governments purchase primarily through school nutrition programs and senior services departments. Recent solicitations show school districts and county agencies are buying fresh and frozen produce — and occasionally shelf-stable food items — for National School Lunch Program compliance, with the code's nominal product appearing as one line item among hundreds in broader grocery and fresh-produce requests. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education) and county agencies supporting social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Early County Board of Education). All purchases are subject to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items, HACCP food-safety compliance, and USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium specifications where applicable.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items — including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) — with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 for the 2026-27 school year; Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products with a June 8, 2026 response date. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under IFB BNB052266, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 through OpenGov e-Procurement. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables on October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026 — the most recent activity under this code. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 of the following fiscal year with firm pricing and F.O.B. destination delivery to school warehouse and cafeteria sites.
