UNSPSC 50311580: Organic sierra beauty apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic sierra beauty apples

UNSPSC 50311580 Organic sierra beauty apples is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh apple procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation record shows no activity specifically targeting sierra beauty or other organic apple varieties. The code nominally describes a single fresh produce item, but the recent opportunities tagged under it actually span broad fresh produce and food-service procurement — from comprehensive school nutrition contracts covering hundreds of food items including multiple apple varieties, to fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks programs, to regional park concession-food services. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple simultaneous procurements across Georgia and Wisconsin in June and July 2026.

The geographic concentration shows heavy activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and State of Georgia procurements posted in May and June 2026) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District RFBs posted in July 2026), with one Florida county procurement (Collier County, posted October 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, specifying 70–90 cases weekly and annual contract value of $78,000 for the September 2026–June 2027 school year; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026, for July 2026–June 2027; and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026. The Collier County Parks and Recreation ITN for concession food services at North Collier Regional Park, posted October 8, 2026, carries a March 6, 2025 response date and applies a 10-point local-vendor preference. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit organic sierra beauty apples; the code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity, which centers on mainstream produce varieties within school nutrition programs.
