UNSPSC 50311518: Organic delicious apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic delicious apples

UNSPSC 50311518 Organic delicious apples, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh apple procurement by school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and other state and local entities. Recent solicitations show school nutrition programs as the primary buyers, sourcing individual apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Ambrosia) in bulk case quantities for student meals and snack programs, alongside broader fresh-produce contracts that include apples as line items. County parks departments solicit food concession vendors who provide apples as part of diverse beverage and snack menus at regional facilities. A healthcare coalition has also posted for produce vendors including fresh fruits within the contract scope. The work is straightforward commodity procurement — vendors supply apples meeting specified ripeness, size, temperature, and packaging requirements, with delivery to multiple school sites, central warehouses, or park facilities on fixed weekly or daily schedules. Contracts typically run for a single school or fiscal year (July through June or September through November) with optional renewal terms, and pricing is evaluated alongside vendor qualifications, food safety compliance, insurance, and local or diverse-business preferences.

School districts in Georgia and Wisconsin dominate recent activity under this code. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year, with delivery to three school sites and bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles via RFP 10-2026-019, with proposals due June 22, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requested bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFBs 4162 and 4163, both due July 29, 2026, with weekly usage and firm annual contract values. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County regional parks) and Marion Health Care Coalition. Set-asides and preferences appear across solicitations — local-vendor preferences, diverse-owned business credits, and organic-produce price discounts — and most contracts require HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million), E-Verify compliance, and domestic sourcing where applicable.
