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, covers fresh produce that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, regional parks, and healthcare facilities. The recent opportunities show school districts and county authorities sourcing fresh produce—including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty fruits—for student meal programs, park concessions, and institutional food service. State and local buyers under this code emphasize domestic sourcing, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify, debarment verification), traceability documentation, and seasonal or local procurement preferences. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from county boards of education, regional park authorities, and healthcare coalitions. Many solicitations weight cost heavily (35–40 points) but also score vendor experience, food-safety certifications, diverse-owned business status, and local or organic sourcing preferences.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. The State of Georgia issued a broad food-supplies bid (due June 22, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on fresh produce for 2026–27 (due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables via RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids (due June 8, 2026). In Wisconsin, Madison Metropolitan School District posted RFBs for petite bananas (4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (4163, due July 29, 2026), requiring sourcing within 400 miles and offering a $0.20 per pound organic-produce price preference. Outside the South and Midwest, Collier County (Florida) Procurement Services Division issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025), and Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) sought produce proposals (due August 21, 2026). School-district buyers frequently specify case sizes, delivery windows (early morning), temperature requirements, and minimum fill rates; many require organic or local sourcing at premium evaluation weights. Set-asides and preferences include local-vendor advantages (10 evaluation points in Collier County), diverse-owned business certification (5 points in school RFBs), organic-product price preferences, and geographic sourcing filters (400-mile radius in Wisconsin and Georgia).
