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 captures fresh fruit procurement by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts and county parks departments managing cafeteria and concession operations. State and local governments buy organic bramley apples — and fresh produce more broadly — as components of school nutrition programs, park food services, and institutional food provisioning under this code. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing apples as line items within larger fresh-produce contracts, alongside citrus, berries, melons, and other seasonal fruits, typically sourced to meet USDA nutrition standards and domestic-content preferences. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from county boards of education, county parks departments, and health care coalitions. Solicitations routinely emphasize farm-of-origin traceability, local or regional sourcing within specified radii (often 400 miles), HACCP compliance, delivery-temperature precision, and rejection-rate guarantees; many carry Buy American produce provisions or domestic-content minimums.
