UNSPSC 50301580: Sierra beauty apples

The variety of apples known as sierra beauty apples

UNSPSC 50301580 Sierra beauty apples, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific apple variety, but the recent opportunities solicited under broader produce categories—"fresh produce," "school nutrition grocery bids," and "fruit and vegetable snacks"—do not isolate Sierra beauty apples as a line item or specify the variety. School districts, child care agencies, and counties are procuring fresh produce in volume, but their bid documents reference generic apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Ambrosia, Red Delicious) or unspecified "apples" as quantity-driven commodity items within larger food service contracts rather than Sierra beauty apples as a distinct SKU.

Recent procurement activity under related produce codes spans school districts across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026017 for a CACFP Meal Program covering multiple food categories including fruits for 400 children ages 1–18, due August 4, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District posted RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, Wisconsin (due July 29, 2026). Broader school nutrition bids—such as Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (due April 14, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce (due June 16, 2026), and GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 covering 30 Georgia school districts' fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annual value)—do not isolate Sierra beauty apples as a named variety. Without direct sourcing demand for this specific apple cultivar in the recent record, pursuit under this Commodity code is not currently supported by detectable state and local procurement signals.
