UNSPSC 50301551: Law rome apples

The variety of apples known as law rome apples

UNSPSC 50301551 Law rome apples (Commodity) describes fresh apples sourced for institutional food service, though state and local governments procure this commodity primarily as part of broader fresh produce supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item. Recent activity shows institutions buying apples within multi-item fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care food programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, DeSoto County, Madison Metropolitan, Collier County), municipal school systems (Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized public entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The specific code appears infrequently in recent solicitations; most fresh-fruit procurement is tagged to broader produce families rather than individual apple varieties or commodity codes, and the recent opportunities block shows no standalone petite-apple or rome-apple line items—only mixed fresh-fruit contracts where apples are one component among dozens of items.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple produce solicitations in October 2026), Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County all soliciting in May–June 2026), Illinois (Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Florida (Collier County), and Mississippi (DeSoto County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation for Palestine (IW267376, RFP, due October 19, 2026) and Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, RFQ, due September 3, 2026); and Hancock County Schools' fresh produce procurement for the 2026–27 school year (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026). Most contracts run one fiscal year with optional renewals and specify F.O.B. Destination pricing with no fuel surcharges. The commodity code itself sees minimal standalone targeting; pursue this code only if your firm has existing relationships with institutional food distributors managing multi-item fresh-produce agreements, since buyers are seeking full-line suppliers rather than single-commodity vendors.
