UNSPSC 50311570: Organic red boscoop apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic red boscoop apples

UNSPSC 50311570 Organic red boscoop apples, Commodity, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity—the code is taxonomically specific to organic red boscoop apples, yet the most-recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for that variety. Instead, recent opportunities name petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks and produce bundles, apples across multiple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Jazz), and generic fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs. School districts and regional buying cooperatives are the dominant issuing bodies, sourcing fresh produce annually for child nutrition and the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; the opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin jurisdictions. While institutional buyers do procure apples at scale—Savannah-Chatham County Public School System estimated 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually, and Hancock County Board of Education specified multiple apple varieties across its 200+ produce line items—none of the recent solicitations isolate organic red boscoop apples as a distinct line item or commodity. The mismatch between the code's narrowly defined scope and the breadth of apple varieties and produce categories actually being purchased suggests that state and local procurement offices either tag fresh produce generically to higher-level family or class codes, or specify variety at the line-item level within broader produce RFPs and IFBs rather than using the commodity-level UNSPSC designation.

The code appears inactive for business development targeting. Recent procurement activity for apples occurs under broader commodity and class codes encompassing fresh produce generally; vendors pursuing school district food service contracts should focus on family-level or class-level produce codes and track district-specific RFPs and IFBs where apple varieties are itemized rather than assuming organic red boscoop apples will be solicited as a discrete UNSPSC line item. Representative school district fresh produce solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162–4163, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined for produce and eggs).
