UNSPSC 50311526: Organic gala apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic gala apples

UNSPSC 50311526 Organic gala apples is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with the code's nominal scope. The block shows school district nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin soliciting fresh produce, bananas, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable service contracts—none explicitly for organic gala apples, and most for conventional produce at significant scale. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the purchasing systems or a source-data artifact; the code shows little relevant recent activity for organic gala apples as a distinct procurement line.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs and IFBs from Madison Metropolitan (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County (all Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts cooperatively). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 annual contract value; Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery to 18 elementary schools at $600,000 estimated annual budget; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas at approximately $5.5 million combined estimated annual spending; and Bulloch County School District IFP for locally-grown produce (within 200 miles) supporting a Farm to School program across 14 schools. Most contracts emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and weekly or biweekly delivery to multiple school sites. If pursuing institutional produce supply, focus on school district cooperative purchasing vehicles and regional multi-district RFPs rather than expecting demand specifically for organic gala apples under this code.
