UNSPSC 50311520: Organic earligold apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic earligold apples

UNSPSC 50311520 Organic earligold apples, a Commodity code, designates fresh organic apples of a specific cultivar for purchase by state and local government food-service programs, school districts, and healthcare organizations. Recent solicitations frame the work concretely: school districts purchase petite bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, and multi-item fresh-produce line packages for student nutrition programs and USDA-funded snack initiatives; county parks departments procure food and beverage concessions for regional facilities; and health-care coalitions source fresh produce according to operational and seasonal demand. The issuing-body mix spans independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county boards of education, and specialized health-care procurement entities (Marion Health Care Coalition). School nutrition programs dominate recent activity, with districts typically managing multi-item commodity purchases under cooperative frameworks.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia and Wisconsin. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items spanning multiple apple varieties and stone fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System (Georgia) requested proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables from vendors sourcing within 400 miles, with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) bid petite bananas at $78,000 annual value and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks (locally sourced, up to $0.20 per pound organic preference) for the September 2026 through June 2027 term, both due July 29, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids encompassing 300+ items with delivery to three schools, due June 8, 2026. Collier County Parks and Recreation solicited food-services proposals via Invitation to Negotiate for North Collier Regional Park concessions with a March 6, 2025 deadline and a 10-point local-vendor preference.
