UNSPSC 50321543: Dried jersey mac apples

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

UNSPSC 50321543 Dried jersey mac apples, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code is specific to a single apple variety in dried form, yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried jersey mac apples or functionally equivalent dried apple products. School districts, state departments, and county nutrition programs purchasing fresh and dried produce in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California—including Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County Schools, the State of Georgia, TDCJ, and Santa Clara County—all solicit fresh apples (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp, Jazz), dried prunes, dried fruit blends, raisins, and cranberries, but no sources identify procurement of dried jersey mac apples specifically. A single TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) addresses dried fruit—whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B standards—underscoring that when state and local food service buyers procure dried fruit, the recent record reflects prunes and mixed dried fruit by type and grade rather than dried apple varieties.

The absence of recent activity under this code reflects either minimal demand among state and local food service purchasers for dried jersey mac apples in particular, or procurement that is tagged under broader fresh apple codes or general dried fruit classifications rather than this commodity-level taxonomy entry. Business development efforts pursuing state and local school nutrition and institutional food service contracts should monitor the broader fresh and dried produce family and class codes—particularly fresh apple procurement—where school districts regularly issue IFBs and RFPs with response dates throughout the spring and summer cycle; this narrow commodity code does not signal current buying activity.
