UNSPSC 50311554: Organic macoun apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic macoun apples

UNSPSC 50311554 Organic macoun apples (Commodity) shows no recent state or local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains 18 solicitations from school districts and state agencies, but none specifically name organic macoun apples or any single apple variety as a discrete line item; the opportunities instead solicit fresh produce in bulk across dozens of fruit and vegetable categories, or request bananas and other produce without apple-variety specification.

The mismatch between the code's specificity and actual buying patterns reflects how state and local procurement operates in practice. School nutrition programs—the primary purchasers in this block—buy fresh produce through annual or multi-year cooperative contracts that bundle dozens of commodities into single solicitations. Produce selection within those contracts typically flexes by season, supplier availability, and cost rather than locking onto branded or varietal names. Representative opportunities from Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027 for 200+ fresh produce line items, due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery, proposals due March 11, 2026), and the Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, proposals due March 4, 2026) all specify apple categories generically—Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Red, Gold varieties—rather than organic macoun specifically. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. If pursuing this code, verify with prospecting agencies whether they are sourcing organic macoun apples as a discrete line item or bundling apple purchases into broader fresh-produce solicitations where variety selection remains discretionary.
