UNSPSC 50321584: Dried stayman apples

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

UNSPSC 50321584 Dried Stayman apples, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement for dried apple products, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for this specific item. School districts and county nutrition programs represent the primary issuing bodies under this code's broader family, with solicitations emphasizing fresh produce and processed fruits rather than dried apple varieties by name. The few documented opportunities naming dried fruits include commodity buys for institutional food service, particularly in correctional and school nutrition settings, where specifications often call for dried fruit blends, raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes rather than stayman apples specifically. When dried fruits appear in these procurements, they are typically bundled within larger produce or grocery contracts that span hundreds of line items across fresh and processed categories.

State and local procurement activity in dried fruits clusters in Georgia, California, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts dominating as issuing bodies. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 on January 28, 2026 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend to serve a correctional facility—a representative example of dried-fruit sourcing in public food service. School districts in Hancock County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri; Liberty County, Georgia; and Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia all posted IFBs and RFPs for school nutrition supply contracts between January and June 2026, but none of these solicitations specifically named dried stayman apples as a line item. The Douglas County School System RFP (DCSDSN26-003, due February 18, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) represent large-scale food distribution contracts where dried apples might appear as a commodity input, but neither document explicitly referenced them. This code shows limited direct activity; buyers pursuing dried apple supply should monitor school nutrition and correctional food service solicitations across Georgia, Texas, and California for bundled produce opportunities where stayman varieties might be specified or acceptable as equivalents.
