UNSPSC 50311537: Organic greening apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic greening apples

UNSPSC 50311537 Organic greening apples, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The source contains seventeen recent school nutrition procurements across Georgia, Texas, and Florida—none of which specifically request organic greening apples. The opportunities name petite bananas, mixed fresh produce assortments, broad produce categories (apples in multiple varieties including Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp), and fresh fruits and vegetables for child nutrition and school lunch programs. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, McAllen, Austin, Hillsborough County), county boards of education (Hancock, Bartow, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas County), and the State of Georgia. Geographic activity spans Georgia (ten opportunities), Texas (two), and Florida (one), with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 (estimated annual value $78,000); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items across multiple apple varieties due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce line items including mixed apple varieties, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope (organic greening apples specifically) and the broad institutional purchasing patterns in the opportunities block—which treat apples as one item among dozens in mixed produce contracts—suggests either a tagging error or that specialized single-variety organic apple procurement operates outside state and local school nutrition channels that dominate this code's recent record. Buyers emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, multi-variety sourcing, firm pricing for twelve months, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder on line-item bases. If pursuing this code, verify directly with target school districts whether organic apple procurement occurs separately from their primary mixed-produce solicitations.
