UNSPSC 50311507: Organic bramley seedling apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic bramley seedling apples

UNSPSC 50311507 Organic bramley seedling apples is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—primarily whole fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county parks, healthcare facilities, and other institutional food services—under this code and related produce categories. Recent solicitations show school districts as the dominant buyer, with districts consistently procuring fresh fruits in bulk for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, supplemented by county board of education purchases and specialized institutional vendors serving parks and healthcare coalitions. The work spans routine produce procurement (specified case counts, ripeness grades, delivery schedules, and temperature controls) as well as local-sourcing initiatives that impose geographic sourcing restrictions or apply preference scoring to nearby farms. School districts typically weight cost between 40 and 50 percent of the evaluation score while also scoring on vendor qualifications, compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify, liability insurance), references, and increasingly on diverse-business status and local-vendor certifications.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia, Wisconsin, and multi-state school systems.
