UNSPSC 50311505: Organic braeburn apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic braeburn apples

UNSPSC 50311505 Organic braeburn apples (Commodity) describes a single agricultural product line, yet recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically tied to organic braeburn varieties. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas are procuring fresh produce at scale—including apples, but as one line item among dozens in comprehensive fresh-fruit-and-vegetable contracts. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) solicits petite bananas in 150-count cases, not apples, while RFB 4163 requests fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) specifies over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties—Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz—rather than braeburn specifically. The code shows a mismatch: state and local procurement offices are bundling apples (including some organic variants per Austin ISD's RFP 26RFP034 and Bartow County's emphasis on organic produce with $0.20-per-pound price preference) into larger institutional food-service awards rather than issuing standalone commodity buys for a single varietal.

School districts dominate recent issuance across Georgia, Florida, and Texas. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026, covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined; Glynn County Board of Education issued IFB 27-02 (March 16, 2026); Liberty County Board of Education issued paired IFBs for produce and food (March 30, 2026); Muscogee County School District issued ITB 26-017 (March 27, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 (March 22, 2026); and McAllen Independent School District issued RFP 2026-1029 (March 6, 2026). Austin ISD (Texas) posted RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages on February 14, 2026. These buyers treat apples as components of weekly institutional food-service supply chains—cases of mixed apple varieties specified in hundreds-per-week quantities, with strict HACCP, Buy American, and delivery-window requirements—rather than as discrete commodity acquisitions. Organic braeburn apples at the Commodity tier do not align with the scope, volume, or procurement structure of active state and local opportunities.
