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, covers the sourcing and delivery of organic apple varieties to state and local institutional buyers, particularly school nutrition programs and regional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments using this code to procure fresh produce for school lunch and breakfast programs, regional parks and recreation food service, healthcare facility nutrition operations, and specialized fresh-fruit-and-vegetable programs serving elementary students. The work involves meeting stringent food safety compliance (HACCP plans, traceability documentation, farm-of-origin certification), adhering to delivery windows and temperature controls, submitting to quality inspections, and maintaining product freshness guarantees. Issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, regional park systems, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices across multiple jurisdictions. School districts dominate the recent procurement activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System all posting solicitations within the past five months.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with related produce bidding across the Southeast and Midwest. Representative opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin or nearby sourcing within 400 miles (5,900 weekly servings, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items including multiple apple varieties, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, contract through June 30, 2027 with renewal options); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid encompassing fresh produce alongside non-food supplies (due June 8, 2026). Geographic preferences and local-sourcing filters appear in multiple solicitations, with Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan both weighting distance or regional sourcing as evaluation criteria. Payment terms typically run Net 30 from invoice, and most school district contracts run through June 30 of the following fiscal year with renewal options.
