UNSPSC 50321575: Dried red stayman apples

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

UNSPSC 50321575 Dried red stayman apples, a Commodity code, encompasses procurement of dried apple products by school districts and state criminal justice agencies. State and local governments buy dried apples primarily as ingredient components in larger food and commodity contracts for institutional cafeteria and nutrition programs, rather than as standalone specialty items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (both individual school boards and consolidated purchasing on behalf of nutrition centers) and state correctional systems. School nutrition programs dominate the recent solicitation activity, with the scope typically embedded within broader fresh and processed produce line items rather than isolated to dried varieties. When dried apples appear, they are specified by varietal name and packaging requirement—the source shows references to apple varieties within multi-hundred-line-item produce and food-commodity RFBs rather than dedicated dried-apple solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date, encompassing over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties for delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, for commodities to the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items across produce and protein categories.
