UNSPSC 50311532: Organic gold supreme apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic gold supreme apples

UNSPSC 50311532 Organic gold supreme apples is a Commodity code representing fresh produce that state and local governments buy for school nutrition programs, county parks, healthcare facilities, and produce distributors. The recent solicitations show school districts as the primary buyers, procuring fresh fruits and vegetables for student meal programs, though county parks departments and healthcare coalitions also use the code. The scope of work spans fresh produce provision and delivery—apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens—with emphasis on food safety compliance, traceability by farm of origin, seasonal availability, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System all posting bids in the past four months. A healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition) and a county parks department (Collier County) also solicited under this code, but school nutrition programs represent the bulk of recent activity. Local-vendor preferences and geographic sourcing requirements appear frequently—Bartow County requires produce from within 400 miles; Madison Metropolitan School District applies a $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic produce and prioritizes Wisconsin-sourced items; and Collier County offers local-vendor evaluation points. Buy American provisions, HACCP plan requirements, E-Verify verification, and commodity-specific quality metrics (ripeness stages for bananas, temperature controls, fill-rate guarantees) are standard terms across these bids.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District posted two bids in July 2026 for petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program federal grant approval).
