UNSPSC 50321542: Dried james grieve apples

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

UNSPSC 50321542 Dried James Grieve Apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, but the code shows minimal direct recent activity in state and local solicitations. Dried James Grieve apples are a specialty dried fruit variety, yet the recent opportunities data reflects instead broad school nutrition and correctional facility food supply contracts that encompass multiple dried fruit categories alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies soliciting under food procurement codes in this tier, with secondary activity from state departments, county governments, and county corrections. Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California show the most recent procurement activity in food supply to public institutions, with school districts leading in frequency and volume.

Recent representative solicitations reveal the operational context but underscore the code's specificity mismatch with actual purchasing patterns. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) with response due June 26, 2026, while Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought over 900 grocery line items with sealed bids due April 29, 2026. The County of Santa Clara (California) issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts with five line items including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on February 5, 2026. Douglas County School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026. These opportunities illustrate that state and local procurement offices buy dried fruits as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodities, and James Grieve apples specifically do not appear in the recent solicitation records. Vendors pursuing this code should expect competition in broader dried-fruit line items within multi-category food solicitations targeting school nutrition, corrections, and state food service operations rather than single-product opportunities.
