UNSPSC 50311570: Organic red boscoop apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic red boscoop apples

UNSPSC 50311570 Organic red boscoop apples is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, particularly school districts and regional public agencies sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables for food service operations. The recent solicitation activity shows that state and local buyers across this category are acquiring fresh apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and other produce items for school lunch programs, regional parks, healthcare coalitions, and specialty procurement initiatives. Work being solicited ranges from bulk fresh-produce supply agreements with multi-line item specifications to targeted single-commodity buys; school districts are the dominant issuing body, supplemented by county boards of education, county parks departments, and health care organizations. Vendors must meet quality standards, delivery timelines, product-freshness guarantees, and in many cases geographic-sourcing or local-vendor preferences. Many procurements require HACCP plans, proof of food-safety compliance, E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 minimum coverage). Diverse-owned business status often carries evaluation weight or point preferences.
