UNSPSC 50321518: Dried delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50321518 Dried delicious apples, a Commodity code, covers dried apple products procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs. School districts source dried apples as shelf-stable produce components in cafeteria meal planning, typically as part of broader fresh and dried fruit procurement cycles. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dried apples within larger breakfast, lunch, and snack programs that serve K-12 students, and occasionally for correctional facility food services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (county boards of education, independent school districts) and state-level procurement on behalf of correctional systems; school nutrition programs dominate this commodity code's activity.

Recent opportunities span multiple states. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs in February 2026 (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; that solicitation's scope included fresh apples among 72 produce line items. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026) with over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz). The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia solicited fresh produce for school nutrition in March 2026 (due April 23, 2026), with estimated annual quantities of 21,125 cases for Fuji apples alone. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a broader food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) spanning cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations.
