UNSPSC 50311528: Organic giliflower apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic giliflower apples

UNSPSC 50311528 Organic giliflower apples, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually procuring. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not feature organic giliflower apples; instead, they span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, including bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and beverages. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) solicits petite bananas at $78,000 estimated annual value; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB (due June 26, 2026) covers over 200 fresh produce line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) seeks fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with several Georgia counties (Hancock, Bulloch, Liberty, Glynn, Muscogee) and Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) conducting annual produce and egg procurements, typically structured as RFPs, RFBs, or IFBs with annual fixed pricing and renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts. Georgia school systems—including Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, and Douglas County—posted most procurements between February and July 2026, with contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 or comparable school-year cycles. Texas districts, including McAllen ISD and Austin ISD, also posted major solicitations with March 2026 deadlines. The source does not support recent activity in other states or regions. Buy American provisions appear consistently across opportunities, with most requiring domestic commodities or products with at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content; several districts offer locational preferences (produce grown within 200-400 miles) or apply price preferences for organic items, as in Bartow County's $0.20-per-pound organic discount and McAllen ISD's geographic preference for produce within 50 miles. Evaluation typically weighs cost at 30–50 percent, product quality and availability at 15–30 percent, and vendor qualifications and experience at 15–20 percent. The code shows active procurement volume but lacks specificity to organic giliflower apples, signaling a misalignment between the commodity classification and current school nutrition supply activity.
