UNSPSC 50311518: Organic delicious apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic delicious apples

UNSPSC 50311518 Organic delicious apples, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The source contains no recent opportunities actually purchasing organic delicious apples. Instead, the opportunities reference petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, fresh produce line-item bids covering multiple apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia, and red and gold generic types), and comprehensive food service procurement spanning dozens of produce categories. The one bananas-specific RFB from Madison Metropolitan School District (solicitation 4162, due July 29, 2026) specifies petite bananas, not apples. A second RFB from Madison (solicitation 4163, due July 29, 2026) requests fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin, with pricing weighted at 40 percent and a $0.20 per pound preference discount applied to organic produce in final price comparison—indicating organic designation is a secondary scoring factor, not a primary requirement. The code appears to be mistagged for the recent activity it receives.

School districts across Georgia dominate recent issuance volume under this nominal code. Issuing bodies include Madison Metropolitan School District (two RFBs), Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia, IFB with 200+ line items), Bartow County School System (Cartersville, Georgia, RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables), Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District (Statesboro, Georgia, IFP for farm-to-school produce), Liberty County Board of Education (two IFBs for produce and food products), Muscogee County School District (Columbus, Georgia, ITB for 60 produce line items), Glynn County Board of Education (Brunswick, Georgia, IFB for fresh produce), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34 for 72 produce items), the State of Georgia (general food and supplies RFQ), and two Texas school districts—McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026) and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026). Douglas County School System issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with school districts as the dominant buyer type. Representative recent opportunities show weekly or line-item produce delivery to school nutrition programs under IFB, RFB, RFP, and ITB structures, with sealed bids due April through July 2026 and contract terms typically running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
