UNSPSC 50321528: Dried gilliflower apples

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

UNSPSC 50321528 Dried gilliflower apples is a Commodity code representing one of many dried fruit and processed produce items that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and related public foodservice operations. The code nominally describes a specific dried-fruit product, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with dried gilliflower apples; instead, the posting record reflects broader fresh produce, processed food, and cafeteria commodity procurement activity spanning school districts, state corrections departments, and municipal purchasing offices. Buyers under this code typically include school nutrition departments operating under the Buy American Provision (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), state departments of criminal justice, and city and county food-service operations. Scope of work encompasses fresh and processed produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods distributed through centralized nutrition centers and warehouse systems to multiple delivery locations.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted by Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (115-line-item commodities procurement due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products across five geographic areas due May 4, 2026, and dried prunes due February 20, 2026). The TDCJ represents a repeat buyer, having issued multiple food procurement solicitations over the review period. These opportunities typically feature firm fixed pricing for contract periods running through mid-2027, FOB destination delivery terms, USDA compliance and grade certification requirements, HACCP or product formulation documentation, and awards to single or multiple responsive, responsible bidders based on price and performance history.
