UNSPSC 50351596: Frozen organic york imperial apples

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

UNSPSC 50351596 Frozen organic york imperial apples, a Commodity code, describes specialized frozen produce that state and local governments source through food service procurement, but the code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its specific scope. The few opportunities posting under this code tag broader food procurement efforts — school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service — that encompass mixed produce and shelf-stable items rather than frozen apples specifically. When state and local buyers do source fresh or frozen produce, they typically bundle apples alongside other fruits, vegetables, and proteins rather than procuring frozen organic York Imperial apples as a discrete line item, which limits the practical market for vendors offering this specialized product alone.

Recent opportunities reflect buying across Georgia and Connecticut school districts and county departments. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for school year 2026-27, with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies; the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes on October 13, 2026 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought grocery items for the Board of Education on June 30, 2026 through electronic procurement, subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. These solicitations emphasize fresh apple varieties, domestic sourcing preferences, bulk purchasing for school nutrition programs, and compliance with USDA standards, but none specifically target frozen organic York Imperial apples as a line-item commodity, suggesting the code may be a misclassification or that this specialized frozen product sees limited state and local procurement activity.
