UNSPSC 50311544: Organic jester apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic jester apples

UNSPSC 50311544 Organic jester apples (Commodity) shows a mismatch between the code name and the recent solicitation activity. The code nominally covers a single apple variety, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve organic jester apples or apples alone — they span institutional fresh produce procurement broadly, encompassing bananas, berries, vegetables, eggs, and specialty items for school nutrition programs. The solicitation tagged to this code (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026, for petite bananas due July 29, 2026) is entirely unrelated to the code's stated commodity. This suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a state-level reclassification that does not align with the UNSPSC taxonomy as presented.

State and local school districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin are the dominant issuing bodies, with recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Douglas County School System. Most opportunities are Invitations for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) notices with response windows of 30 to 60 days; representative examples include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce line items, Bulloch County School District RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (posted April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively. The code sees concentrated recent activity in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. Given the absence of any recent opportunity actually soliciting organic jester apples, this code's utility for business development targeting is severely limited without clarification of the intended commodity scope.
