UNSPSC 50321557: Dried newtown pippin apples

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

UNSPSC 50321557 Dried newtown pippin apples, a Commodity code, covers specialized dried fruit products that state and local governments purchase for food service operations, most prominently school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and county correctional authorities sourcing dried fruit items alongside broader fresh produce and food service categories—rarely as standalone line items but rather as components within multi-category grocery or nutrition contracts. The code's nominal product focus (newtown pippin varieties specifically) appears narrower than actual buying patterns, where dried fruit procurement emerges as part of comprehensive nutrition supply chains serving K-12 meal programs and detention facilities.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside county correctional and food service authorities such as Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department (California) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
