UNSPSC 50356800: Frozen organic sugar apple

The type of organic fruit known as organic sugar apple that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356800 Frozen organic sugar apple is a Class code that sits at a significant mismatch with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies a single frozen fruit commodity, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code document school district and municipal procurement of comprehensive grocery and food-service portfolios spanning hundreds of line items — fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, poultry, grains, condiments, prepared entrees, and non-food supplies. The actual work being solicited under this code classification reflects broad food-service provisioning for school nutrition programs and municipal food operations, not the purchase of frozen organic sugar apples as a discrete commodity. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and City Schools of Decatur have all posted solicitations in the past four months. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and the State of Georgia also appear as issuing bodies. Most solicitations are IFB or RFP notices supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with contract periods running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Georgia and adjacent states. Hancock County, Early County, Douglas County, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System have each posted fresh produce or comprehensive food-service RFPs since February 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids on over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026. The Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs to 30 cooperating school districts across two areas with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Across these solicitations, vendors face consistent compliance requirements: Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, E-Verify authorization, commercial general liability insurance typically at $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, firm fixed pricing for the contract period with limited adjustment provisions, and delivery to multiple school sites within specified hours Monday through Friday. This code shows substantial recent activity, but the activity reflects general food-service supply rather than specialty frozen fruit procurement.
