UNSPSC 50321505: Dried braeburn apples

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

UNSPSC 50321505 Dried braeburn apples is a Commodity code covering dried apple products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and other public food service operations. The recent solicitations under this code span fresh and dried produce procurement, with school districts and state prison systems sourcing apples as line items within broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone dried-apple buys. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year, the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for its school nutrition center, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning proteins, grains, fresh and preserved fruits, and vegetables. All three school-focused solicitations enforce the Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products, with sealed-bid formats, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and deliveries to multiple school nutrition centers or distribution points.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most recent visible opportunity being Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) specifying Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz apples among over 200 line items for delivery to three school locations. The Texas Comptroller's IFB for TDCJ cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) included dried fruits and other preserved items distributed to six Texas warehouse locations, though the exact dried-apple volume is not itemized in the available summary. The City of Bridgeport IFB (due June 26, 2026) similarly embedded fruit products within a 115-line-item commodities scope for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state corrections agencies; all require HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, and E-Verify authorization from bidders.
