UNSPSC 50301527: Gascoyne's scarlet apples

The variety of apples known as gascoyne's scarlet apples

UNSPSC 50301527 Gascoyne's scarlet apples is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single cultivar of apple, but the recent opportunities in this dataset span comprehensive fresh produce procurement—apples across multiple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, Ambrosia, Jazz), bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty items—for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional food service. The few opportunities that name apples do so as one line item among dozens or hundreds in multi-category solicitations; none limit procurement to Gascoyne's scarlet apples specifically. The code's narrow single-cultivar scope does not reflect what state and local governments actually buy.

Recent activity shows school districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California dominating the market, with secondary participation from county boards of education, municipal school systems, Head Start organizations, correctional facilities, and senior services departments. Representative recent solicitations include the Bulloch County Board of Education's Invitation for Proposal for local produce (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026). Pursue this code only if your firm supplies apples as one component of broader institutional produce distribution; the code as defined is too narrow for meaningful business development tracking.
