UNSPSC 50321570: Dried red boscoop apples

The variety of apples known as red boscoop apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50321570 Dried red boscoop apples is a Commodity code that spans a narrow product line—whole, dried red boscoop apples in defined pack sizes and quality grades—with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to this specific variety. The source records show that school districts and state agencies soliciting under related produce codes (fresh apples, dried fruits generally, and mixed grocery items) dominate the issuing-body mix, alongside one county correctional facility. Recent opportunities indicate that state and local buyers use dried fruit procurement primarily as a component of larger grocery or commodity supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; when dried fruits do appear as distinct line items, they typically include raisins, cranberries, or tropical fruit blends alongside nuts, not specifically dried red boscoop apples. The solicitation records name school nutrition programs, state departments of criminal justice, county corrections, and school districts as the primary purchasing bodies.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools) and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with additional recent solicitations from Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and California (County of Santa Clara). A representative recent opportunity is Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), which encompasses over 200 produce line items across multiple apple varieties but does not isolate dried red boscoop apples as a distinct bid line; similarly, the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) called for dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but not specifically dried red boscoop apples. The code shows little recent independent procurement activity; dried apple purchases, if any, are buried within broader food-service aggregations under higher-tier commodity codes or are satisfied through standing cooperative purchasing agreements not reflected in this source.
