UNSPSC 50311511: Organic codlin apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic codlin apples

UNSPSC 50311511 Organic codlin apples, Commodity tier, spans fresh apple procurement by school districts and educational institutions for student nutrition programs. State and local buyers under this code purchase fresh produce as part of broader school meal contracting, though the recent-opportunities block shows the code seeing minimal targeted activity—most solicitations name fresh produce broadly (apples among dozens of produce line items in multi-category food service RFPs and IFBs) rather than organic codlin apples specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and school boards across multiple states, supported by nutrition departments and food service operations. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026), both reflecting the institutional scale and multi-commodity scope typical of school nutrition procurement under produce-related UNSPSC codes.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia school systems—Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County have all issued RFPs, RFBs, IFBs, or ITBs since late February 2026—with additional solicitations from Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District, July 2026), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, March 2026; Austin Independent School District, March 2026), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, April 2026). The code does not show dedicated organic-codlin-apple procurement; apples appear as commodity items within comprehensive fresh-produce contracts valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually per district, with pricing often indexed to USDA terminal-market reports and delivery requirements measured in weekly case quantities to multiple school sites. School nutrition programs emphasize domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, food-safety traceability, and preferential pricing for local or organic produce when cost and quality align—signals useful for positioning if your firm holds the distribution, cold-chain, and farm-traceability infrastructure to serve institutional buyers at scale.
