UNSPSC 50301507: Bramley seedling apples

The variety of apples known as bramley seedling apples

UNSPSC 50301507 Bramley seedling apples, a Commodity code, represents fresh apple procurement for state and local institutional food service — specifically the Bramley variety of seeded apples used in school nutrition, child care, and senior meal programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying Bramley apples as one item within large, mixed fresh-produce portfolios rather than as standalone specialty purchases; the code appears infrequently in isolation and instead surfaces within broader produce and grocery RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary and secondary nutrition programs) and child care providers in multiple states. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category, with procurement for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance driving volume. Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) providers and senior services divisions also solicit fresh produce under this family, though in smaller quantities.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and other states, with the heaviest recent concentration in Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Liberty County, and others) and Texas school districts (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas child care facility procurement (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) for mixed fresh produce including fruits and vegetables as part of a $400-student CACFP meal program; Bulloch County School District's local produce RFP (IFP, due May 4, 2026) for fresh, locally grown produce within 200 miles, naming apples explicitly among 24 line items; and Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) specifying over 200 produce line items across multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside Bramley-type seedling varieties. The code shows steady quarterly activity through spring and early summer 2026, with most school-based solicitations clustering around May-July for July 1 contract start dates. Bramley seedlings compete within broader apple category procurement where variety selection varies by district; the commodity code alone does not drive vendor pursuit unless embedded in larger mixed-produce or grocery awards at the school-district scale.
