UNSPSC 50301508: Calville blanche d'hiver apples

The variety of apples known as calville blanche d'hiver apples

UNSPSC 50301508 Calville blanche d'hiver apples, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent opportunities block. The code nominates a specific apple variety, but the solicitations posted since late January 2026 request fresh produce broadly—including multiple apple varieties, bananas, berries, vegetables, eggs, and other staples for school nutrition programs, child care food service, senior services, and corrections facilities. The few opportunities mentioning apples by name (such as Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Gold, and Red varieties) do not cite Calville blanche d'hiver specifically, and the dominant procurement pattern treats apples as one line item among dozens in institutional food service contracts rather than as a standalone specialty commodity.

State and local buyers posting under or near this code span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Glynn County, Henry County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Central Point, Meriden Public Schools), county boards of education across Georgia, city and county human services departments (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg, Meriden), Head Start organizations (Greater Dallas, DeSoto County), and a county correctional facility (Santa Clara). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon from February through July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (RFP posted June 10, 2026, due June 26), the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with approximately $5.5 million annual estimated spend (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4), and the City of Bridgeport's bid for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (posted June 30, 2026, due same day). The code shows minimal recent traction as a distinct specialty commodity; buyers treat apples as commodity inputs in large-volume institutional purchasing rather than as differentiated varietal purchases.
