UNSPSC 50321509: Dried cameo apples

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

UNSPSC 50321509 Dried cameo apples, a Commodity code, covers fresh and dried apple products procured by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and related supply chains. State and local buyers under this code are primarily school districts and state correctional departments seeking apples as components of broader fresh produce and food commodity contracts. Recent solicitations show that dried apples appear alongside fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) in multi-line-item fresh produce bids, though the code's nominal focus on dried cameo apples specifically appears narrower than the actual procurement activity. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia Department of Corrections also procure food commodities under similar frameworks. All recent solicitations enforce the Buy American provision, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and school nutrition programs mandate HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and extensive compliance certifications.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a due date of June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products via IFB due June 26, 2026, for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable under City Ordinance 3.12.130. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with responses due May 4, 2026, covering delivery to six TDCJ distribution points through August 31, 2027 with optional one-year renewals. The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeting dried cameo apples as a standalone commodity; the primary entry point is participation in broader institutional food supply contracts where apple products are itemized components.
