UNSPSC 50321545: Dried jonagold apples

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

UNSPSC 50321545 Dried jonagold apples, a Commodity code, covers preserved apple products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional food services. Recent solicitations show dried apples appearing sporadically within larger fresh and dried produce contracts rather than as standalone line items, with the code seeing limited direct activity in isolation.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), alongside county and state corrections agencies such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas, California, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. School nutrition programs typically bundle dried apples with fresh produce, canned fruits, and specialty items in larger RFP and IFB procurements spanning 72 to 900-plus line items per solicitation. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026), which encompasses over 200 produce line items including multiple apple varieties delivered to three school locations, and the County of Santa Clara Dried Fruits and Nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026), which solicited dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional facility food services on a five-year term. Dried jonagold apples do not appear as a named line item in the recent opportunities reviewed; the code shows activity only as a potential component within broader produce and commodity aggregations, suggesting sporadic rather than consistent demand at the state and local level.
