UNSPSC 50311596: Organic york imperial apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic york imperial apples

UNSPSC 50311596 Organic york imperial apples (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic York Imperial apples or any other apple variety marketed under that specific nomenclature. Instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement broadly — including mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, bananas, eggs, and other staples — by school districts and county boards of education across Georgia and Texas, with no instances naming York Imperial apples as a line item or contracted commodity.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity suggests either a tagging error in the opportunities or that York Imperial apples represent a specialty item outside current state and local procurement volume. School nutrition programs do source apples extensively — Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Red, and Gold varieties appear frequently in recent IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County Schools (IFB SN002-2027, June 2026), Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, April 2026), and other districts — but organic York Imperials do not surface in the posted opportunities reviewed. Vendors pursuing institutional apple supply contracts should target mixed-variety fresh-produce solicitations from school districts and county systems, which typically award on a line-item basis and accept multiple vendors, rather than expect dedicated procurement codes for single heirloom varieties.
