UNSPSC 50301575: Red stayman apples

The variety of apples known as red stayman apples

UNSPSC 50301575 Red stayman apples (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement that state and local education and child nutrition agencies buy primarily as part of comprehensive fresh produce contracts. Unlike produce procurement opportunities that name apples generically across multiple varieties, this code targets a single cultivar—red stayman apples—though recent state and local opportunities show minimal explicit demand for this specific variety alone. School districts, child nutrition programs, and senior services agencies source apples through broader fresh produce solicitations that bundle multiple varieties, making standalone red stayman apple procurement a niche activity in the current market.

State and local solicitations under this code tier originate from school nutrition programs, child nutrition departments, and food service authorities across multiple jurisdictions, with the highest concentration in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Wisconsin based on recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce specifying multiple apple varieties including Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz (due June 26, 2026)—neither of which names red stayman apples explicitly. The GEC Buying Cooperative RFP issued by Douglas County School System (due March 4, 2026) procured fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas, though the specification document does not itemize red stayman apples separately. Recent procurement records show red stayman apples appearing as a single line item within comprehensive apple assortments rather than as standalone procurement targets, reflecting institutional preference for variety-mixed sourcing and vendor flexibility in apple selection based on seasonal availability and cost. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should anticipate requests bundled within larger fresh produce contracts and should monitor school district, child nutrition program, and senior services food procurement notices across the Southeast and Texas for multi-variety apple solicitations that may include red stayman as an acceptable or preferred cultivar option.
