UNSPSC 50301517: Crispin apples

The variety of apples known as crispin apples

UNSPSC 50301517 Crispin apples (Commodity) shows negligible relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—supply of a specific apple variety—does not align with the actual buying patterns documented in recent solicitations, which focus overwhelmingly on broad fresh-produce procurement spanning dozens of varieties rather than single-item commodity purchases. The sole opportunity nominally tagged to fresh apples or apple varieties appears in Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (June 2026), which specifies multiple apple types (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside hundreds of other line items across fruits, vegetables, and specialty produce—a broad competitive procurement bearing no resemblance to a Crispin-apple-specific purchase.

State and local buying for fresh apples occurs across school districts, county education systems, Head Start agencies, and child care food programs, but exclusively within composite fresh-produce contracts that aggregate dozens of items under a single solicitation rather than isolated commodity codes. No recent opportunity solicited Crispin apples as a distinct line item or contract award, and recent purchasing patterns reveal that jurisdictions employ cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts) and geographic-area bidding models that encourage competition on whole produce categories or line-item mixes rather than single varieties. If your firm pursues apple supply, competitive positioning requires entry into broad fresh-produce solicitations—Hancock County Schools (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education (IFB, due June 16, 2026), and the multi-district GEC cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026)—where Crispin and other varieties are one component of larger, volume-weighted awards. The UNSPSC code does not meaningfully segment state and local purchasing activity.
