UNSPSC 50321561: Dried pacific rose apples

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

UNSPSC 50321561 Dried pacific rose apples (Commodity) does not show meaningful recent procurement activity aligned with the code's narrow scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and general food service across multiple states, but they overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce, broad commodity baskets, and dried fruits generically—not dried pacific rose apples specifically. Only one opportunity, Santa Clara County's January 2026 dried-fruits solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617), touches dried fruit at all, and it requests raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for the Elmwood Correctional Facility, with no mention of dried apples. The remaining opportunities—from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice—all pursue fresh produce contracts, prepared foods, or broad grocery supply. None target dried pacific rose apples as a line item.

The code classification appears misaligned with actual procurement activity. State and local governments buying under these solicitations purchase fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, and prepared entrees in volume through school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Dried pacific rose apples, if procured at all in this market, would likely appear as a minor line item within a larger fresh or dried produce contract rather than as a standalone commodity. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local nutrition and food service programs actually specify or order dried pacific rose apples as a distinct SKU, or whether the code reflects a taxonomy artifact not reflected in current procurement demand.
