UNSPSC 50321535: Dried granny smith apples

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

UNSPSC 50321535 Dried granny smith apples (Commodity) appears in recent state and local procurement primarily as one line item within broader fresh produce or grocery solicitations, rather than as a standalone category. State and local governments procure dried granny smith apples alongside other fresh and processed produce to supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services, typically as part of larger commodity aggregations rather than single-item contracts.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with recent activity concentrated among Georgia and Missouri school systems. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including granny smith apples for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 deadline; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought grocery items across over 900 line items for 2026–27 under electronic bid due April 29, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for over 400 food items due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) procured fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One, RFP due March 4, 2026. Beyond schools, the County of Santa Clara (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to support the Office of the Sheriff Department of Correction food services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, with bids due February 5, 2026. Geographic concentration is evident in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in California and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education); Texas corrections and state procurement also appear in the dataset. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear consistently across school district solicitations, and awards typically go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on firm fixed-price contracts running July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options. The code sees active procurement as a commodity line item within larger food supply chains rather than as a specialty procurement unto itself.
