UNSPSC 50311519: Organic duchess apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic duchess apples

UNSPSC 50311519 Organic duchess apples is a Commodity code with little recent activity aligned to its stated scope. The single recent state and local opportunity tagged with this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026—is unrelated to organic apples. The source contains no posted solicitations for duchess apples, organic or otherwise, under this code or any tier above it. School districts and other state and local buyers are actively procuring fresh produce, including apples, through dozens of recent RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs, but these opportunities name only standard apple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Ambrosia, Jazz, and red or golden generics), not duchess apples specifically. The code appears inactive for recent state and local procurement purposes.

The broader produce category (UNSPSC 50311500 Apples and derivatives, or higher tiers within fresh produce) shows robust activity across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and other states, with school districts, county boards of education, and independent school systems issuing weekly produce bids and RFPs valued from under $100,000 to over $4 million annually. Representative current opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (including multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally grown produce (due May 4, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education's IFBs for produce and food products (due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined). If your firm supplies duchess apples or specializes in organic apple varieties, monitor the broader fresh produce family codes rather than this specific commodity code, as issuing bodies are not currently tagging duchess apple procurements separately.
