UNSPSC 50321513: Dried costard apples

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

UNSPSC 50321513 Dried costard apples is a Commodity code that maps weakly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried custard apple products—appears only tangentially in the available opportunities, which overwhelmingly feature school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and state agency cafeteria procurement across broader fruit, vegetable, and dried-fruit categories. Of thirteen recent solicitations spanning January through June 2026, only one—Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts serving the Sheriff's Department correctional facility—explicitly names dried fruit products, but that procurement encompasses raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans, with no mention of dried costard apples as a line item.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), supplemented by state departments (Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), a county correctional system (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and a city purchasing office (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, plus state-level solicitations), Texas (TDCJ), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's commodities RFQ for school nutrition (due June 26, 2026), and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (closed February 5, 2026). The code shows minimal discrete procurement activity specifically targeting dried custard apples; vendors should verify whether state and local nutrition programs classify dried custard apples under a related dried-fruit or specialty-ingredient code or bundle them into broader produce or commodity RFPs rather than as standalone line items.
