UNSPSC 50321545: Dried jonagold apples

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

UNSPSC 50321545 Dried jonagold apples (Commodity) covers dried apple products procured by school districts and correctional facilities, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically for dried jonagold apples. The code sits within a broader category of dried fruit and fresh-produce procurement where state and local buyers source food items for nutrition programs, institutional food service, and cafeteria operations. School districts dominate the recent activity, issuing RFPs and IFBs for multi-category food and produce contracts that span fresh apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items alongside dried fruits. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both issued recent broad-scope fresh and processed produce solicitations that would encompass dried apple products as line items within larger commodity portfolios. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has also posted food procurement solicitations for institutional cafeteria supply, though recent TDCJ opportunities name prunes and other processed fruits rather than dried apples by variety.

Activity under the code concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and state-operated correctional facilities representing the primary buying pool. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013), due June 26, 2026, requested over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027, and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities IFB (BNB053266), also due June 26, 2026, covered 115 food product line items with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. Both solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products. The Georgia State Procurement Division issued a separate food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. Recent opportunities show no dedicated dried jonagold apple solicitations; the code appears most active as a subordinate line item within larger fresh and processed produce contracts where school nutrition programs consolidate seasonal and shelf-stable purchases.
