UNSPSC 50311573: Organic red gravenstein apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic red gravenstein apples

UNSPSC 50311573 Organic red gravenstein apples, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce—specifically organic apples of a particular variety—that state and local governments procure for food service operations at schools, parks, and healthcare facilities. The recent solicitations under this code span fresh produce procurement more broadly, with school districts and county parks departments seeking apples alongside other fruits and vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone specialty-apple line items. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners for parks concessions), and healthcare-affiliated organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition). School nutrition programs are the dominant repeat buyer, with three district-level solicitations posted between May and July 2026 requesting fresh produce for meals and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program snacks.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, and the State of Georgia posting produce bids in May and June 2026, while Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin solicited petite bananas and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks in July 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), berries, and vegetables with bids due June 26, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison with bids due July 29, 2026 and a $0.20 per pound preference discount on organic produce; and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles with proposal deadline June 22, 2026. Buy American provisions, local and organic sourcing preferences, HACCP documentation, and delivery-schedule specificity (early-morning windows, temperature maintenance, traceability by farm) are standard contract requirements. No opportunities specifically name organic red gravenstein apples as the sole procurement object; the code shows limited standalone activity for this specialty variety.
