UNSPSC 50311559: Organic orleans reinette apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic orleans reinette apples

UNSPSC 50311559 Organic orleans reinette apples, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The solicitations listed under this code are almost entirely for fresh produce distribution to school nutrition programs—bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and broad produce assortments—rather than organic apples specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, soliciting produce suppliers through RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs for annual food service contracts.

Recent activity shows school districts in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Douglas County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan) issuing competitive solicitations for fresh produce vendors. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 with estimated annual value of $78,000; Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative due March 4, 2026 with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for fresh fruit and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with estimated annual budget of $600,000. These procurements emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance requirements, delivery logistics to multiple school sites, and scoring that weights price competitively but also values vendor qualifications, product quality, and service reliability. The code shows little evidence of organic-specific apple procurement; opportunities naming apples list them as commodity produce items alongside dozens of other vegetables and fruits within broader fresh produce contracts rather than as specialty organic products.
