UNSPSC 50321504: Dried baldwin apples

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

UNSPSC 50321504 Dried baldwin apples is a Commodity code that describes preserved apple products sourced for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state agency cafeterias. The code sees application across school districts, state departments, and correctional authorities that procure processed fruits and related commodities for bulk kitchen operations. Recent opportunities show school nutrition centers and state agencies issuing IFBs for mixed fresh and processed produce, though the code itself appears as a line item within broader food procurement rather than as a standalone category driving independent solicitations.

Activity spreads across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most recent and detailed opportunities posted by Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2). The Hancock County opportunity encompasses over 200 line items of produce and specifies delivery to three school locations; the Bridgeport IFB covers 115 line items across protein, dairy, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas TDCJ solicitation, the most substantive by scope, includes approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for distribution to six TDCJ warehouse locations. All opportunities enforce Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), require firm-fixed pricing for the contract term, and demand HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and comprehensive insurance documentation from vendors.
