UNSPSC 50321536: Dried gravenstein apples

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

UNSPSC 50321536 Dried gravenstein apples is a Commodity code that describes specialty dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional food services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying dried and fresh produce items as components of broader food-service RFPs and IFBs, where dried apples appear alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and other cafeteria staples. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year, while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food-service RFQs spanning proteins, grains, vegetables, and specialty items. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and MBE/CBE certifications apply in Connecticut municipal procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and state departments of education as primary issuing bodies alongside state correctional systems. Hancock County Schools' produce solicitation closed June 26, 2026, with bids due for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport's commodity bid closed the same date for contract through June 30, 2027 with optional extension. The Texas Comptroller issued a TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF) with response due May 4, 2026, and TDCJ separately solicited whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532) with February 20, 2026 closing. The code shows limited recent activity directly naming dried gravenstein apples specifically; broader dried-fruit and fresh-produce procurement dominates school nutrition and state food-service spending.
