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, covers fresh organic apple procurement by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation food services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show school districts as the primary buyers, sourcing produce through competitive bids and RFPs that specify organic certification, variety requirements, delivery schedules, and compliance with USDA nutrition and food-safety standards. School nutrition departments typically procure apples as part of broader fresh produce contracts serving National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, fresh fruit and vegetable initiatives, and general food service operations. Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition, Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education have all posted produce solicitations in recent months that encompass apple varieties alongside other fresh fruits and vegetables. The code reflects actual procurement of specific apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, and Ambrosia noted in recent school district bids) delivered in case packs to designated school locations with firm pricing, HACCP documentation, liability insurance, and E-Verify compliance required across all vendors.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts and Wisconsin, with additional procurement from Collier County, Florida and Marion Health Care Coalition. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (bids due June 26) for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for delivery through June 30, 2027. Bartow County School System posted RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (proposals due June 22, 2026; award anticipated July 20) sourcing within 400 miles and emphasizing seasonal availability. Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department issued separate RFBs for produce items with bids due July 29, 2026, including fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with Wisconsin sourcing and locational preferences. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) with full scope in attached documentation. School districts consistently weight cost at 30-40 percent, product quality and compliance at 15-35 percent, vendor experience at 10-15 percent, and diversity certifications at 5 percent in award decisions.
