UNSPSC 50301567: Pomme d'api apples

The variety of apples known as pomme d'api apples

UNSPSC 50301567 Pomme d'api apples is a Commodity code that represents a specific fresh apple variety, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the nominal scope. The source material contains no solicitations specifically for Pomme d'api apples; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad produce procurement categories including fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits and nuts, and mixed grocery items for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and correctional food service. State and local buyers across this activity tier include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Henry County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Liberty County Schools, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District in Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Central Point School District in Oregon), county boards of education and school nutrition programs (DeSoto County School District in Mississippi; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Early County Board of Education in Georgia), city purchasing departments and food service agencies (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases in Connecticut; City of San Antonio Department of Human Services in Texas), regional food-service cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.; County of Santa Clara Office of the Sheriff in California). The predominant buyer class is school districts and their nutrition programs, which collectively represent the majority of recent procurement volume.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code show that state and local governments are actively procuring fresh produce in bulk quantities for meal programs, with representative solicitations including Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), McAllen Independent School District's RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce supporting 20,000 students across 31 campuses (proposals due March 6, 2026, extended by addendum), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program serving 18 elementary schools at an estimated annual budget of $600,000 (proposals due March 11, 2026), and GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 serving 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual produce spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with significant activity also in Connecticut, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. The code shows broad produce-category procurement activity rather than sourcing of a single apple variety, suggesting that vendors pursuing this tier should position capabilities in bulk fresh produce distribution to institutional meal-service programs nationwide rather than in variety-specific sourcing.
