UNSPSC 50311527: Organic gascoyne's scarlet apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic gas organiccoyne's scarlet apples

UNSPSC 50311527 Organic gascoyne's scarlet apples (Commodity) describes fresh produce sourced for school nutrition programs, healthcare operations, and county parks concession services. State and local governments procure fresh fruit and vegetable items under this code to support institutional food service, including items delivered to school cafeterias, health care facilities, and recreational park concessions. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county government procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and healthcare-related entities (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts represent the dominant buyer category, with multiple districts posting produce solicitations in recent months for school lunch and breakfast programs; county park and recreation divisions and health care coalitions also source produce regularly.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. The source documents five school district procurements (Wisconsin, Georgia two districts, and Florida one), one county parks ITN in Florida (Collier County, Solicitation 258360, North Collier Regional Park Food Services, due March 6, 2025), one healthcare coalition RFP in Florida (Marion Health Care Coalition, Solicitation SP0040000017708, Produce Proposals, due August 21, 2026), and one state-level RFB in Georgia (State of Georgia, Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, Food Supplies and Other Kitchen Products, due June 22, 2026). School district RFBs and RFPs specify fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, produce for lunch programs, and branded items including petite bananas (Madison Metropolitan, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000). Geographic sourcing preferences and local-vendor set-asides appear in multiple recent solicitations—the Bartow County Schools RFP requires sourcing within 400 miles, Madison Metropolitan applies a $0.20-per-pound organic produce preference in final pricing, and Collier County Parks applies a 10-point local-vendor preference for businesses meeting Collier or Lee County residency criteria.
