UNSPSC 50301585: Stayman winesap apples

The variety of apples known as stayman winesap apples

UNSPSC 50301585 Stayman winesap apples (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through broader fresh produce and grocery solicitations rather than as standalone items. Recent state and local opportunities show that apples—including specific varieties like Stayman, Winesap, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz—are bundled into comprehensive fresh produce contracts serving school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and senior services. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia counties (Bryan County, Hancock County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County), Texas school systems (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), and Oregon (Central Point SD) actively soliciting produce that includes apples on line-item bases within larger RFPs and IFBs. Child care and senior nutrition programs (City of Edinburg CACFP meal program, Head Start of Greater Dallas, San Antonio senior center operations) also procure apples as part of mixed fresh fruit and vegetable offerings. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, Mississippi, and other states; Georgia shows particularly concentrated activity with numerous school district procurements posted between March and June 2026.

Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for 2026-27 (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) listing over 200 produce line items with multiple apple varieties specified by case size and unit count; Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce (posted March 16, 2026, bids due April 14, 2026) itemizing approximately 750 cases of gold apples and 1,100 cases of red apples among 60 total produce SKUs; and Bryan County School Nutrition's sealed bid for fresh produce (posted April 27, 2026, due May 27, 2026) covering approximately 1,024 cases of apples across multiple varieties. McAllen ISD's fresh produce RFP 2026-1029 (posted March 6, 2026, proposals due March 6, 2026) specified Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Red apple varieties. Most procurements structure pricing on per-case or per-unit bases with firm fixed prices for 12 months or negotiated escalation clauses pegged to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service terminal market reports. School nutrition programs dominate by volume and frequency; child care and senior services represent secondary but steady demand. The code shows no recent activity in isolation—all opportunities tag apples within larger commodity families (fresh produce, groceries, food items), making vendor differentiation and margin capture dependent on competitive positioning within broader food-service relationships.
