UNSPSC 50311542: Organic james grieve apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic james grieve apples

UNSPSC 50311542 Organic james grieve apples is a Commodity code covering fresh apples sourced under school nutrition, county park food service, and healthcare procurement contracts. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce—primarily apples and complementary fresh fruits and vegetables—for school lunch and breakfast programs, county recreational facilities, and institutional food services. School districts represent the primary category of issuing body, with county boards of education and special districts such as county parks and healthcare coalitions also actively soliciting. Recent opportunities reflect a mix of single-item buys (petite bananas, specific apple varieties) and comprehensive produce portfolios (200+ line items spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories), with vendors commonly required to meet USDA sourcing preferences, farm-of-origin traceability, food-safety compliance including HACCP plans, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations on fixed schedules.
