UNSPSC 50301567: Pomme d'api apples

The variety of apples known as pomme d'api apples

UNSPSC 50301567 Pomme d'api apples, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh fruit supply to institutional food service operations across state and local government—specifically school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs. State and local buyers procure apples and other fresh produce (often bundled with broader fresh fruit and vegetable contracts) for meal programs serving students, inmates, patients, seniors, and children; the code sits within a broader demand for fresh produce delivery under fixed-price or cost-plus contracts, typically with weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules, temperature-controlled logistics, and HACCP and USDA compliance requirements.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi), state departments of corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice in Huntsville and Palestine; Illinois Department of Corrections in Joliet), state mental health facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center in Hines), county food service operations (Collier County's regional parks in Florida), and specialized vendors serving child nutrition programs and senior centers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg CACFP program, San Antonio senior services). Recent activity concentrates in Texas (TDCJ facilities in Huntsville, Palestine, and Snyder), Georgia (multiple school districts), Illinois (corrections and mental health), and Florida (Collier County). Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP for fresh fruit and vegetables to its Snyder Food Warehouse and Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville (response deadline October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (response deadline September 3, 2026, with small business set-aside), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas at $78,000 estimated annual value (bids due July 29, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options, require F.O.B. Destination pricing with no separate fuel surcharges, mandate compliance with USDA Buy American provisions (51% domestic content minimum for processed items), and demand insurance, HACCP plans, and E-Verify enrollment.
