UNSPSC 50301584: Stayman apples

The variety of apples known as stayman apples

UNSPSC 50301584 Stayman apples is a Commodity code for a specific apple variety purchased by state and local education and nutrition agencies. Recent solicitations reveal that the code, while nominally naming a single cultivar, is functioning in practice as a catch-all for fresh produce procurement — school districts, cooperative buying consortia, and child nutrition programs tag opportunities spanning dozens of produce line items (apples of multiple varieties, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus, leafy greens, potatoes, tomatoes, and more) under this single code or closely related produce codes. School nutrition programs and child care agencies dominate the issuing-body mix: the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and the GEC Buying Cooperative (a 30-district Georgia consortium) appear multiple times. Regional transit authorities and county correctional facilities also procure under this code family — the County of Santa Clara (California) solicited dried fruits and nuts for detention food services. A pre-bid webinar or industry day signal is absent; state and local procurement offices handle these directly with no federal oversight.

Geographic spread centers on the South and Southwest, with Georgia schools dominating (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, and the GEC Cooperative), followed by Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). Connecticut, Oregon, Mississippi, and California also show recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (posted Feb. 4, 2026, due Mar. 4, 2026) covering 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis; the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program RFP 2026-017 (posted Jul. 16, 2026, due Aug. 4, 2026) seeking beverages, paper goods, food products, and janitorial supplies with local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code; and the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted Jul. 8, 2026, due Jul. 29, 2026) with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000. The code shows consistent, year-round activity across IFB, RFB, RFP, and ITB notice types, with multi-year contracts featuring optional renewal periods and fixed or cost-plus pricing models predominating.
