UNSPSC 50311569: Organic red astrachan apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic red astrachan apples

UNSPSC 50311569 Organic red astrachan apples is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit supply to state and local institutions, particularly school districts and healthcare facilities. The recent opportunities under this code reflect procurement of fresh produce — both as standalone line items within larger food-service contracts and as part of broader produce aggregations — to support school nutrition programs, county park concessions, and healthcare operations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia purchasing office. School nutrition departments represent the dominant issuing bodies, with multiple simultaneous procurements reflecting the September-through-June school calendar and the 2026-2027 contract cycle.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026; and Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including fresh-fruit concession options, due March 6, 2025 (a past date in the source, likely a data error). Geographic preferences and local-sourcing requirements appear frequently — Bartow County mandates 400-mile sourcing; Madison Metropolitan applies a $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic produce and sources snacks within Wisconsin and 400 miles; Hancock County enforces 51 percent domestic content for processed items. School-year contract terms (July through June) and renewal options are standard across these opportunities.
