UNSPSC 50311578: Organic rome beauty apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic rome beauty apples

UNSPSC 50311578 Organic rome beauty apples, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no bids soliciting organic rome beauty apples specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect school district procurement of fresh produce broadly — bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples across multiple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jazz, Ambrosia), and comprehensive produce assortments spanning berries, citrus, root vegetables, and leafy greens — typically bundled into line-item produce contracts serving National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The code's specificity (organic rome beauty apples as a single commodity) does not match the scope of actual procurement, which treats apples as one item among dozens within broader fresh-produce and food-service contracts.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas issued the majority of recent solicitations between February and July 2026, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Hancock County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems) and Texas (Austin, McAllen, and Hillsborough County school districts). Districts solicited produce through RFP, IFB, and ITB notices, typically annual contracts running July 1 through June 30 with unit pricing on line-item bases and delivery to multiple school sites. Representative recent opportunities include Liberty County Board of Education IFB for Food Products due April 29, 2026, spanning 400+ food items including fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables; Bulloch County School District RFP for local produce due May 4, 2026, targeting 24 produce items grown within 200 miles; and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program delivery due March 11, 2026, at $600,000 annual estimated value. Contract values reported where disclosed ranged from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan School District bananas, annual) to $4.4 million (Douglas County School System cooperative produce across 30 districts). Set-asides and preferences varied by district: Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program eligibility and local-growth sourcing preferences appeared in Madison and Bartow County solicitations; Georgia E-Verify authorization and debarment certification were standard across Georgia school systems.
