UNSPSC 50301584: Stayman apples

The variety of apples known as stayman apples

UNSPSC 50301584 Stayman apples is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity in the sourced opportunities. State and local buyers have posted no recent solicitations specifically for Stayman apples or any single apple variety under this code. Instead, recent opportunities across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and other jurisdictions are procuring fresh produce broadly—including mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, produce for school meal programs, detention and mental health facility food service, child care nutrition programs, and senior services—where apples may appear as one line item among dozens in larger food-supply or produce-aggregation contracts.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, DeSoto County, Early County in Georgia and Mississippi), county governments (Collier County, Florida), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg, Texas), and specialized food-service agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for its Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376 and IW267420, due October 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana RFB (RFB 4162, $78,000 annual value, due July 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement spanning 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 2025 with a 10-point local-vendor preference. None of these solicitations isolates a single apple variety; all treat produce as commodity aggregates within broader food-service or nutrition programs. The code's narrow scope—a specific cultivar—does not align with actual state and local procurement patterns, which aggregate produce into mixed-quantity, multi-item contracts. Vendors pursuing fresh produce sales to state and local food-service programs should monitor broader produce, grocery, and school nutrition solicitations rather than expect activity under this commodity-level code.
