UNSPSC 50301514: Court pendu plat apples

The variety of apples known as court pendu plat apples

UNSPSC 50301514 Court pendu plat apples, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains twenty-five child nutrition, school food service, and correctional facility food procurement opportunities posted between January and July 2026, encompassing fresh produce, groceries, beverages, and related supplies. However, none of these solicitations specifically names Court pendu plat apples or any other apple variety by that cultivar designation. Most fresh-produce-focused opportunities reference generic apple categories—Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jazz, Ambrosia, Red, Gold, and sliced apples in various forms—or list apples without cultivar specificity. The code's nominal scope does not align with the breadth of actual purchasing captured in the opportunities reviewed.

The recent activity shows strong demand for fresh produce procurement from school districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Oregon, and other states, with issuing bodies including school nutrition programs, county boards of education, independent school districts, Head Start organizations, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. Representative solicitations include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce items (Bid 26-34, April 23, 2026 deadline), the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, March 4, 2026 deadline), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (RFP 26RFP034, March 11, 2026 deadline). These procurements are typically structured as IFBs, RFPs, or RFQs with evaluation criteria weighting cost heavily (30–50 points), product quality and delivery reliability (15–25 points), and vendor qualifications and experience. If your firm pursues apple supply under this code, emphasize alignment with USDA Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, on-time weekly delivery capability, and ability to serve multiple school sites simultaneously across established distribution networks.
