UNSPSC 50311514: Organic court pendu plat apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic court pendu plat apples

UNSPSC 50311514 Organic court pendu plat apples is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity in the recent-opportunities block. The opportunities present show school districts and educational cooperative purchasing vehicles soliciting fresh produce — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, apples of multiple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia), berries, and prepared produce items — under RFB, RFP, IFB, and ITB notices. The code's nominal scope of "organic court pendu plat apples" (a specific heritage apple variety) does not align with the broad, commodity-grade produce procurement documented in these solicitations, which emphasize conventional, USDA-compliant fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show no explicit demand for organic certification, heritage varieties, or the "court pendu plat" cultivar.

School districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Schools, the Douglas County School System (via GEC Buying Cooperative), Hillsborough County Public Schools, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual value), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 for locally sourced fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP via GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million combined spend). The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors pursuing organic heirloom apple supply should seek codes covering organic or specialty produce rather than this commodity classification.
