UNSPSC 50321551: Dried law rome apples

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

UNSPSC 50321551 Dried law rome apples, a Commodity code, maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—dried apples—appears in only one recent opportunity that is plainly tangential to the actual purchasing pattern, while the bulk of opportunities tagged under this code solicit broad fresh produce, grocery staples, and food-service commodities for school districts, county correctional facilities, and state criminal-justice systems.

The mismatch reflects a classification artifact rather than active demand. Recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and the County of Santa Clara (California) all request fresh produce—apples in multiple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honey Crisp), berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and citrus—but none explicitly target dried apples. One Santa Clara County ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 procurement (issued January 28, 2026) does solicit dried fruits, but specifies raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix rather than dried apples. Issuing bodies are almost entirely school districts and county nutrition/food-service programs (two Georgia IFBs and an RFP, two Missouri and Virginia school-district IFBs, one California county correctional system ITB), plus the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and State of Georgia general food procurement. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with isolated West Coast activity (California). The code carries minimal current market signal for dried-apple suppliers.
