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, a Class code, encompasses shelf-stable and fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with frozen organic sugar apples specifically. Instead, state and local buyers across this code family are procuring broad food-service portfolios — shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared items for school nutrition programs, senior services, and municipal food assistance. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education) and county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), with occasional state-level buys (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions treat food procurement as a high-volume, recurring operational need tied to federally funded meal programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program), with strict compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content in processed products), nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and HACCP food-safety protocols.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026, requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for delivery by December 7, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and citrus varieties for the 2026-27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026. Bridgeport Board of Education sought bids on over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products and condiments under a June 30, 2026, deadline, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Early County Board of Education posted a food bid on May 11, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies due June 8, 2026. All contracts emphasize firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery within specified windows (typically 48-hour or next-business-day turnaround), and vendor compliance with insurance, debarment verification, and anti-collusion certifications.
