UNSPSC 50311585: Organic stayman winesap apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic stayman winesap apples

UNSPSC 50311585 Organic stayman winesap apples, a Commodity code, describes whole fresh fruit supplied to state and local institutional food service programs, primarily school districts procuring for child nutrition and breakfast programs. Recent solicitations show school nutrition departments buying not exclusively organic winesap varieties but broadly specified fresh produce baskets—apples (multiple varieties including Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia, and gold/red types), bananas, berries, citrus, stone fruits, vegetables, and prepared produce items—delivered weekly to elementary through high schools, pre-K centers, and central warehouses. The code's nominal specificity to organic winesaps does not match the actual procurement activity, which treats apple sourcing as one line item within comprehensive fresh-produce annual contracts where variety, ripeness stage, pack size, shelf life, and delivery windows drive specification far more than organic certification or cultivar type.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities posted by Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia managing a 30-district cooperative), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida). Georgia school districts show the highest recent concentration. Representative solicitations include Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (February 4, 2026; due March 4, 2026) procuring fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million, and Liberty County Board of Education IFB for Food Products (March 30, 2026; due April 29, 2026) requesting over 400 food line items including fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables for 13 school sites. Contracts run July 1 through June 30 with typical renewal options for one to four additional annual terms; pricing remains firm for the contract period with prospective redetermination tied to USDA or Bureau of Labor Statistics indices. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, traceability systems with farm-of-origin documentation, commercial general liability insurance (typically $1 million), workers' compensation coverage, comply with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, and provide E-Verify and debarment certifications.
