UNSPSC 50311538: Organic greensleeves apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic greensleeves apples

UNSPSC 50311538 Organic greensleeves apples (Commodity) describes fresh fruit sourcing for school nutrition programs, though the code name does not align with current state and local solicitation activity. Recent opportunities under this code tag petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and mixed fresh produce for school districts and state departments rather than organic greensleeves apples specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia, managing the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 districts across two areas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). The State of Georgia also posted for food, supplies, and other kitchen products but the full scope is not detailed in available documents. School districts source fresh produce to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and federally funded USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives, with purchasing occurring through IFB (Invitation for Bid), RFP (Request for Proposal), and RFB (Request for Bids) notice types.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual contract value $78,000, requiring 70–90 cases weekly for school sessions), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 delivery (due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, contract award anticipated July 20, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST for specialty fruits and vegetables supporting the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary school sites (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food safety documentation, traceability systems, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on district), and compliance with USDA nutritional and whole-grain standards appear across all solicitations.
