UNSPSC 50311549: Organic kidd's orange red apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic kidd's orange red apples

UNSPSC 50311549 Organic kidd's orange red apples is a Commodity code that names a single fresh-produce line item — in this case, a specific apple variety — but state and local procurement under the broad produce and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable categories shows that school districts, county parks departments, healthcare organizations, and state procurement offices are buying fresh fruits and vegetables at scale for food service operations, meal programs, and concession venues. The actual work being solicited spans fresh produce procurement — including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and processed-ready snacks — with delivery to school kitchens, central warehouses, park concession facilities, and healthcare dining venues. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state agriculture or procurement departments (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, procuring produce for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with typical contract periods running one school fiscal year (July through June) and annual contract values ranging from $78,000 for specialized items to substantially larger line-by-line food-service awards.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) solicited petite bananas and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks with bids due July 29, 2026, and Hancock County Schools (Georgia) requested fresh-produce bids across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026.
