UNSPSC 50311560: Organic ozark gold apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic ozark gold apples

UNSPSC 50311560 Organic ozark gold apples, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty apple varieties, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears little relevance to the actual scope. School districts and boards of education across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin are soliciting fresh produce—including apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and prepared produce items—through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs, but these opportunities are broadly framed as fresh-produce procurement rather than organic Ozark Gold apples specifically. The most recent solicitation tagged to this code is Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026), which names bananas, not apples, as the commodity. A second MMSD opportunity, RFB 4163, requests fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin, also misaligned with the code's nominal focus on a branded apple variety. The code shows little relevant activity; state and local food service procurement under broader produce categories (UNSPSC 50310000–50311900 range) is substantially more active than this specific commodity designation.

Issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce include school districts and boards of education across multiple states—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) serving 30 districts across two regions. Georgia dominates recent activity, with at least nine school districts posting opportunities between March and July 2026. Solicitation types include RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs with response dates clustered between March and July 2026, reflecting the annual school-year procurement cycle. School districts typically evaluate based on cost (30–50 points), product quality and availability, vendor experience and qualifications, references, and compliance certifications (HACCP, Buy American, debarment, E-Verify). Estimated annual contract values range from $78,000 (MMSD petite bananas) to $4.4 million (GEC cooperative fresh produce procurement across 30 Georgia districts). No incumbent vendors or standout repeat suppliers are named in the opportunities reviewed.
