UNSPSC 50321501: Dried akane apples

The variety of apples known as akane apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321501 Dried akane apples, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically tied to this product line. The source material contains no solicitations explicitly requesting dried akane apples; instead, recent opportunities tag broader fresh and dried fruit procurement under codes that encompass apples and dried fruits as line items within larger grocery or nutrition contracts. State and local governments—primarily school districts and corrections departments—do purchase dried fruits as components of child nutrition and institutional food service programs, but dried akane apples as a distinct commodity do not appear in recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices with dedicated scope.

The few dried-fruit-specific opportunities in the dataset target different dried commodities. Santa Clara County, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix to the Sheriff's Department Correction facility, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited whole pitted dried prunes (Bid IW236532) in early 2026. School nutrition contracts from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) itemize apples—both fresh varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp) and processed apple products—as components of multi-hundred-item grocery procurement, but none name dried akane apples specifically. The broader evidence suggests state and local food service buyers procure dried fruits primarily through main-line grocery distributors, cooperative purchasing agreements, or narrow commodity contracts focused on staple dried items like raisins and prunes rather than specialized varietal products. Pursuit under this code requires confirming that target buyers have a documented need for dried akane apples specifically; generic fresh apple or dried-fruit procurement is being sourced elsewhere.
