UNSPSC 50311517: Organic crispin apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic crispin apples

UNSPSC 50311517 Organic crispin apples is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under recent state and local opportunities tagged with this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover a broad range of fresh produce procurement — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, apples of various varieties, berries, and specialty items — but none specifically address organic Crispin apples or organic produce as a standalone category. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with sealed bids and RFPs coming from independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen Independent, and Austin Independent), county boards of education, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multi-district consortia. The State of Georgia also posted a food supplies solicitation tagged to this code. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts.

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables with a 400-mile sourcing requirement (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). School districts consistently require HACCP plans, food safety certifications, Buy American compliance, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and compliance with USDA National School Lunch and Breakfast Program standards. The code's nominal scope — organic Crispin apples specifically — appears misaligned with the institutional fresh-produce procurement activity actually tagged to it; this code shows substantial activity in general school nutrition produce supply but minimal differentiation by organic certification or varietal focus.
