UNSPSC 50311553: Organic lord derby apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic lord derby apples

UNSPSC 50311553 Organic lord derby apples, a Commodity code, shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope in recent state and local procurement. The single opportunity directly matching this produce category appears to be the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across the 2026-27 school year, which lists apple varieties including Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz among over 200 fresh produce line items. However, the remaining recent solicitations under this code—spanning petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, fresh fruit and vegetable program items, and mixed produce and food products—do not align with organic lord derby apples specifically, suggesting the code may be misapplied to broader school nutrition produce procurements or that organic-specific apple procurement remains limited in the surveyed jurisdictions. 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), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), 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 through the GEC Buying Cooperative). Georgia school districts account for the majority of recent activity, with additional activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas.

Recent procurement activity in Georgia dominates geographically, with school districts in Hancock, Bartow, Early, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, and Glynn counties all soliciting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year between February and June 2026. Douglas County's cooperative procurement through GEC Buying Cooperative spans 30 districts across two Georgia geographic areas with an estimated combined annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. Texas school districts including McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026, proposals extended by addendum) and Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026, with Addendum 1 issued February 17, 2026) have also posted produce solicitations. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties, requiring sealed bids due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations and a contract period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce line items serving 30 school districts across Georgia, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two.
