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 fresh and processed apples procured by state and local governments primarily for school meal programs, with recent solicitations emphasizing fresh produce delivery to school nutrition centers and cafeterias. State and local school districts, particularly county boards of education and independent school districts across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, are the primary issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia have all recently posted solicitations that list apples among hundreds of fresh produce line items required for child nutrition services. The broader procurement activity under related codes spans multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside berries, vegetables, and specialty produce, with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. School districts structure these procurements as annual or multi-year term contracts running July 1 through June 30, with pricing held firm across the contract period and delivery typically required multiple times weekly to individual school sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with procurement mechanisms split between IFBs and RFPs. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for Fresh Produce SY27 (posted June 10, 2026; due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties with delivery to three school locations and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (posted March 22, 2026; due April 23, 2026) specifying 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually among 72 produce items; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026; due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one area alone. These school-level procurements demand compliance with USDA/HACCP standards, E-Verify authorization, and commodity delivery to multiple school sites with firm pricing for the full contract term and payment typically within 30–45 days of delivery.
