UNSPSC 50321554: Dried macoun apples

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

UNSPSC 50321554 Dried macoun apples, a Commodity code, encompasses dried apple products and related fruit procurement that state and local governments source primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried and fresh fruit varieties — including dried macoun apples alongside fresh apple lines (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) — as components of broader fresh-produce and cafeteria-food contracts. The work involves specification compliance (grade certification, packaging, shelf life), USDA and Buy American Provision adherence (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP or food-safety protocol documentation, and FOB Destination delivery with firm fixed pricing and inclusive transportation charges.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (Connecticut) both posting IFBs in June 2026; state agencies including the Georgia Department of Education and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issue food-product solicitations that include dried fruit line items. Geographic spread spans the Southeast (Georgia), Northeast (Connecticut), and South/Southwest (Texas), with activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement and state correctional and institutional food service. Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) itemizes fresh apple varieties across multiple case sizes with delivery to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) covers 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products with delivery to a centralized nutrition center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) specifies dried and fresh fruits among 382 line items for delivery to six TDCJ warehouses across Texas.
