UNSPSC 50311506: Organic bramley apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic bramley apples

UNSPSC 50311506 Organic bramley apples is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The nominal scope—organic bramley apples, a specific heritage variety suited to baking and cooking—does not align with the fresh-produce and food-service contracts actually being solicited under this code. Recent school nutrition procurements tagged with this code are soliciting a broad range of fresh fruits and vegetables, including generic apple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Red, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Jazz), bananas, berries, stone fruits, citrus, vegetables, and prepared produce items for child nutrition programs and school breakfast and lunch service. The code shows minimal relevant activity: a single recent opportunity explicitly named for bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and one for mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (Madison Metropolitan RFB 4163, also due July 29, 2026), neither of which specifies organic status or bramley apples as the commodity.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin are the primary issuing bodies sourcing under this code, with procurement spanning Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). Representative opportunities include Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across 30 districts for approximately 72 produce line items and Grade A eggs) and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools (estimated annual budget $600,000, proposals due March 11, 2026). The code tag appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a signal of genuine organic bramley apple procurement in K–12 nutrition contracting.
