UNSPSC 50311577: Organic reinette apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic reinette apples

UNSPSC 50311577 Organic reinette apples is a Commodity code that captures fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities block shows school districts and county food services soliciting a broader range of fresh produce rather than reinette apples specifically. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, county parks concessions, and healthcare coalition food service, with emphasis on quality standards, food safety compliance, traceability documentation, and delivery schedules. The work includes sourcing and delivery of produce meeting specific ripeness stages, color grades, temperature requirements, and packaging standards; compliance with HACCP plans and farm-of-origin traceability; and adherence to Buy American provisions and domestic agricultural commodity percentages where applicable. Issuing bodies span 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), special-purpose healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts appear as repeat buyers, soliciting fresh produce for student nutrition programs under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and National School Lunch Program.
