UNSPSC 50311571: Organic red chief apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic red chief apples

UNSPSC 50311571 Organic red chief apples is a Commodity code. The source material contains no recent state and local procurement opportunities for organic red chief apples. The opportunities listed are tagged to this code but solicits petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and mixed-category food items—none of which center on organic red chief apples specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this Commodity sits outside current state and local procurement activity, at least in the recent-opportunities dataset provided.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate the recent produce solicitations, competing through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative and directly. Issuing bodies include Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System (cooperatively), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and McAllen Independent School District (Texas). None of the recent opportunities target organic red chief apples as a discrete line item; instead, solicitations name apple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Jazz) within broader fresh-produce buys. Representative recent opportunities include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated combined spending $5.5 million across 30 districts), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce due April 14, 2026, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce due April 23, 2026. Produce procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts, with single opportunities in Wisconsin and Florida. Because the code does not appear in substantive recent state and local procurement, this remains a watch rather than a pursue category.
