UNSPSC 50311543: Organic jersey mac apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic jersey mac apples

UNSPSC 50311543 Organic jersey mac apples, a Commodity code, covers fresh organic apple sourcing for state and local institutional food service operations, primarily school districts and public health agencies that procure produce through competitive bid cycles. Recent solicitations show school districts and county recreation departments buying organic and conventional fresh fruit—including apples across multiple varieties—as part of broadscale produce procurement for school nutrition programs, park concessions, and public health operations. The scope extends across fresh-produce categorization that commonly bundles apples with other fruits and vegetables in single RFBs and ITNs; issuing bodies rarely solicit apples in isolation but instead source them as line items within larger fresh-produce contracts that run annual or multi-year terms aligned to school fiscal years or institutional budget cycles.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code tier, with Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) all posting fresh-produce RFBs in May through July 2026 that include apples among dozens of produce line items. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITN for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park in October 2026 with response due March 6, 2025, and Marion Health Care Coalition (Oregon) sought produce proposals with August 21, 2026 response date. Geographic concentration runs heavily through Georgia school systems and Wisconsin school districts, with secondary activity in Florida county parks and Oregon health systems. Recent Hancock County schools bid (due June 26, 2026) itemized seven apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) across 200+ fresh-produce line items with delivery to three school sites; Bartow County schools (RFP due June 22, 2026) required local sourcing within 400 miles with seasonal variety documentation, and Early County schools (bid due June 8, 2026) emphasized domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium, whole-grain specifications across 300+ food items. These districts typically weight cost at 30–40% of evaluation, with operational compliance, vendor qualifications, and local or diverse-business preference collectively accounting for remaining points.
