UNSPSC 50311517: Organic crispin apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic crispin apples

UNSPSC 50311517 Organic crispin apples, a Commodity code, covers fresh apple procurement by state and local governments for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining. The recent opportunities under this code show school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and county boards of education purchasing fresh produce — including apples among broader produce categories — for student meals, park concessions, and institutional food service. While the code name specifies "organic crispin apples," the actual procurement activity encompasses a wider range of fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing where apples appear as line items within larger produce specifications rather than standalone commodities; Hancock County Board of Education's solicitation explicitly names multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) within a 200+ line-item fresh produce bid, and other districts procure produce broadly without variety-level restriction at the code level.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by county boards of education and specialized healthcare or parks entities. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 requesting petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a 400-mile Wisconsin sourcing requirement (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). Geographic preferences and local-vendor set-asides feature prominently — Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan both impose 400-mile sourcing filters, and Collier County offers 10 evaluation points for local-vendor status. Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year (July through June or September through June) with renewal options.
