UNSPSC 50311594: Organic winesap apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic winesap apples

UNSPSC 50311594 Organic winesap apples, a Commodity code, describes fresh apple procurement by state and local governments, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied across a broader spectrum of fresh produce and food-service categories. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The work being solicited ranges from single-commodity purchases—petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for school nutrition programs—to comprehensive fresh-produce procurement spanning apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, with multiple concurrent RFBs and RFPs active during peak procurement cycles (July through June contract periods). Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposal request represent broader institutional food-service categories tangentially related to the nominal code scope.

The geographic spread reflects activity across the Southeast and Midwest, with notable concentrations in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and statewide procurement), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with weekly delivery of 5,900 servings for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, bids due July 29, 2026; and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas at an estimated annual value of $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026. Most school district procurements emphasize local or regional sourcing preferences, compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, and firm pricing for the contract period (typically July through June). Payment terms are net 30 days; contract terms run one year with optional renewals. Insurance requirements typically range from $500,000 to $1,000,000 in general liability coverage.
