UNSPSC 50321567: Dried pomme d'api apples

The variety of apples known as pomme d'api apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321567 Dried pomme d'api apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and processed apple products for institutional food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that school districts and state criminal justice agencies are the primary buyers under this code, sourcing apple varieties alongside other fresh produce and processed foods for cafeteria operations. The scope of work includes both fresh apples (in varieties such as Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp) and dried apple products specified in case lots with defined unit counts and packaging requirements. All solicitations enforce the Buy American Provision, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products; vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and USDA compliance documentation. School districts typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and reserve the right to split awards across multiple vendors.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027.
