UNSPSC 50321582: Dried stark crimson apples

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

UNSPSC 50321582 Dried stark crimson apples is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and correctional facilities purchasing dried apples as part of broader food service contracts. The recent solicitations show that dried apples appear as line items within much larger produce and food commodity procurements rather than as standalone purchases; when they do surface, they are typically bundled with fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, and specialty foods in multi-category IFB and RFQ awards. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ), and state food procurement offices (Georgia Department of Public Accounts).

The most active recent solicitations span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools' Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) encompasses over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce across multiple apple varieties and other fruits and vegetables for delivery to three school locations over the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 line items of commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) with MBE/CBE applicability and firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, with response deadline extended via Addendum No. 2). A separate TDCJ solicitation, Bid No. IW236532, specifically procured whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a 1,400-box minimum order for the Corpus location (revised due date February 20, 2026). All solicitations enforced Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content percentages and USDA grade compliance; payment terms ran 30 to 45 days; and vendors were required to maintain commercial general liability insurance and provide HACCP or nutritional documentation as applicable.
