UNSPSC 50321552: Dried laxton apples

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

UNSPSC 50321552 Dried Laxton Apples, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single dried apple variety, but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and does not meaningfully reflect dried apples specifically. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting dried Laxton apples or dried apples as a standalone line item. School districts, counties, and correctional facilities do procure dried and fresh apples within broader food service contracts—Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce includes multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) as part of over 200 line items; the County of Santa Clara issued an ITB in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts to a correctional facility, encompassing dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but not dried apples; and Douglas County School System and other Georgia districts procured fresh produce including apples through RFPs and cooperative purchasing vehicles. However, these opportunities do not isolate dried Laxton apples as a procurement focus, and the commodity code does not align closely with recent actual buying patterns in the state and local space.

The issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), county sheriff departments (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and city purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement), Texas (TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), California (Santa Clara County), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools issuing an IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) for fresh produce across 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026 (due April 27) for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools; and Santa Clara County issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 on January 28, 2026 (due February 5) for dried fruits and nuts to a correctional facility. The code shows little decision relevance for vendors focused on dried Laxton apples specifically, as state and local procurement pursues fresh and dried fruits primarily through broad food service and nutrition contracts rather than single-commodity line items.
