UNSPSC 50321506: Dried bramley apples

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

UNSPSC 50321506 Dried bramley apples is a Commodity code that describes state and local procurement of dried apple products for school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state correctional agencies purchasing dried or processed apple products as components of broader fresh and dried produce line-item bids rather than as standalone specialty procurements. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center requested commodities across 115 line items that include fruit and vegetable products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) separately procured dried prunes and other dried fruits for institutional cafeteria supply. These opportunities reflect the code's application in K–12 school nutrition operations and correctional facility food services, where dried apple products serve as shelf-stable components of meal programs rather than fresh-market items.

Geographic activity under this code centers on the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and TDCJ represent recent issuers in the first half of 2026. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB closed June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations over a 12-month contract term beginning July 1, 2026; the bid required 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content under the Buy American provision and specified HACCP plans and recall protocols. The City of Bridgeport's commodity IFB also closed June 26, 2026, with electronic submission through OpenGov and 45-day payment terms through June 30, 2027. TDCJ's broader cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF) closed May 4, 2026, across five Texas geographic areas with FOB Destination delivery to six distribution points and firm pricing including all freight and handling. The code shows modest but consistent activity in state and local school meal and corrections procurement, though opportunities are typically embedded within multi-category food commodity line-item solicitations rather than issued as dried-apple-specific tenders.
