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 (Commodity) captures state and local procurement for specialty fresh produce categories used primarily in school nutrition programs, though recent solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific dried-apple code. School districts and county education boards issue the vast majority of state and local opportunities in this produce-adjacent family, soliciting fresh and processed fruits as components of broader food-service and grocery supply contracts rather than as standalone dried-apple procurements. Representative recent activity includes Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) with a June 26, 2026 response date, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) posting IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce under Bid 26-34 with an April 23, 2026 deadline. All recent school nutrition solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts representing the primary issuing bodies. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two major RFPs in January and February 2026 covering food supply and fresh produce across a 30-district cooperative. The County of Santa Clara, California posted an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (including a dried tropical fruit mix) with a February 5, 2026 deadline and local business preference scoring. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts jointly solicited food products across five geographic distribution areas with an extended May 4, 2026 response date. No recent solicitations specifically name dried pomme d'api apples as a line item; the code sees activity primarily through its position in broader fresh and processed fruit categories within school meal-service contracts rather than as a direct standalone commodity.
