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 (Commodity) describes a narrow product line — specifically dried red boscoop apple varieties — that appears incidentally across state and local procurement activity but does not drive dedicated solicitations in its own right. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for dried red boscoop apples alone. Instead, the code surfaces within broader fresh produce and food commodity procurement by school districts, municipal education departments, and correctional agencies. When school nutrition programs and institutional food services source apples, they typically solicit fresh varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) by case and unit count rather than dried specialty variants. The one opportunity mentioning a dried product — Texas Department of Criminal Justice Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes — is similarly narrow in scope and driven by institutional volume demand rather than consumer retail patterns.

School districts dominate recent issuing activity under the broader produce and food commodity space. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties but no dried variants. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases similarly sought commodities for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic submission by June 26, 2026, under the Buy American Provision. The State of Georgia issued solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22 due date. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a May 4, 2026 response deadline. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut; dried boscoop apples do not appear as a line item in any recent posting identified, suggesting minimal current procurement activity under this specific code.
