UNSPSC 50321515: Dried cox's orange pippin apples

The variety of apples known as cox's orange pippin apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321515 Dried cox's orange pippin apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried apple products, though recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying fresh and processed produce more broadly under codes nominally narrower than this one. School nutrition programs represent the primary end-user: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (Connecticut) solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products in June 2026; and the State of Georgia issued an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products in May 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procures food products including dried fruits — a May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas encompassed approximately 382 line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and produce, while an April 2026 solicitation targeted whole pitted dried prunes meeting USDA Grade B specifications. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and HACCP compliance appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts as the dominant issuing body. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) required delivery to three school locations with a 12-month contract term and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) contracted through the same date with Net 45 payment terms and an optional one-year extension at the Board's discretion. Texas TDCJ's cafeteria food products IFB, originally due April 21, 2026, was extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas with an initial term through August 31, 2027, and two optional one-year renewals. Neither school nutrition IFB identified specific dollar values, though both reserved the right to award to single or multiple vendors. The code shows modest recent activity; while the Hancock and Bridgeport opportunities included apple varieties in broader fresh-produce scopes, no recent solicitation explicitly targeted dried cox's orange pippin apples by name or narrower specification.
