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

UNSPSC 50321566 Dried pitmaston pineapple apples, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and processed fruit products purchased by state and local school districts, counties, and criminal justice agencies for nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code spans school nutrition contracts for fresh and frozen produce, dried fruits, and specialty items; correctional facility food service; and county nutrition centers. Recent solicitations reveal that school districts and counties are the primary issuing bodies, with individual school systems (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) posting annual IFBs and RFPs for multi-hundred-line-item grocery and produce contracts, alongside county corrections departments (Santa Clara County, California; Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and regional cooperative purchasing arrangements. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products are standard across school nutrition contracts, and most solicitations mandate HACCP plans, food safety certifications, E-Verify compliance, commercial general liability insurance ($1 million minimum), and firm fixed pricing over twelve-month terms with optional renewal periods extending up to five years.
