UNSPSC 50321579: Dried russet apples

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

UNSPSC 50321579 Dried russet apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried and processed apple products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Recent solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code; the representative opportunities in the dataset focus instead on fresh produce procurement, broad-based grocery supply contracts, and dried fruit categories (prunes, dried cranberries, tropical fruit blends, raisins, walnuts, and pecans) that fall outside the dried russet apple commodity line. The one dried-fruit solicitation explicitly named in recent activity — Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correction facility — did not include dried russet apples in its specification, instead calling for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis. Solicitations for fresh produce from school districts (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District) enumerate fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) by the case but do not reference dried russet apple products.

Issuing bodies pursuing food procurement in this space are predominantly school nutrition programs across multiple states, including Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and California, along with state departments of criminal justice and county correction facilities. The code shows no clear concentrated activity under dried russet apples specifically, and business development professionals should verify whether solicitations nominally tagged with this code actually require dried russet apple products before investing pursuit resources.
