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 (Commodity) captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitations show schools, counties, and health-care coalitions buying produce broadly rather than the specific apple variety the code name implies. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch), regional parks and recreation facilities, and health-care operations. The scope encompasses direct procurement of produce items ranging from individual fruits like petite bananas and specific apple varieties to comprehensive fresh-produce contracts covering multiple items (berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes) with delivery to central warehouses and school locations. Issuers include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a health-care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate recent activity, with multiple concurrent solicitations for school-year produce supply.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia procurement) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional activity in Florida (Collier County) and a broad health-care coalition sourcing (Marion Health Care Coalition, state unspecified). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana procurement (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000 for weekly usage of 70–90 cases during school sessions), Madison Metropolitan's Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks bid (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly with sourcing required within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026, over 200 line items of produce spanning multiple apple varieties and other fresh items with delivery to three school locations), and Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (proposal deadline June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four renewal options). School district procurement frequently includes local-sourcing or geographic-preference requirements (400 miles of ordering location, state-of-origin sourcing), price preferences for diverse-owned vendors or organic produce, and mandatory HACCP plans and E-Verify compliance.
