UNSPSC 50311586: Organic summer rambo apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic summer rambo apples

UNSPSC 50311586 Organic summer rambo apples is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code procure fresh produce for school nutrition programs, but they span bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive produce portfolios—not organic summer rambo apples specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District solicited petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), neither of which targets the organic apple variety named in the code. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to broader produce procurements or that sourcing under this narrow commodity line is minimal relative to the volume of general fresh-produce solicitations state and local buyers are issuing.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate recent solicitation activity, with repeat buyers including Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual produce contracts (July 2026–June 2027 terms). Douglas County School System, via the GEC Buying Cooperative, solicited fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026) and McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, extended deadline) both seek fresh produce and beverages to supply multiple campuses. These procurements emphasize Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and in several cases geographic preferences for produce grown within state or within specified radius limits (200 miles in Georgia districts, 50 miles for McAllen). The code shows little evidence of current-year procurement specific to organic summer rambo apples under its intended scope.
