UNSPSC 50311551: Organic law rome apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic law rome apples

UNSPSC 50311551 Organic law rome apples, a Commodity code, nominally addresses organically grown Rome apple supply, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with that scope. The code sees virtually no solicitation activity directly matching its stated commodity description. Instead, the recent opportunities—all school nutrition contracts—request comprehensive fresh produce procurement spanning apples alongside bananas, vegetables, berries, citrus, and other produce, with no emphasis on organic sourcing or Rome apple varieties 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), Early County Board of Education (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), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). Activity clusters heavily in Georgia and extends into Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida, reflecting school nutrition program procurement rather than commodity-specific organic apple sourcing.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the category's actual purchasing pattern: Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas and RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under a USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant; Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables for the 2026-27 school year; and Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two). The code shows little recent procurement activity specifically targeting organic or Rome apple commodities; state and local buyers using this UNSPSC designation are actually sourcing broad fresh produce assortments for school meal programs rather than specialized organic apple supply.
