UNSPSC 50321591: Dried wealthy apples

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

UNSPSC 50321591 Dried wealthy apples, a Commodity code, covers dried apple products and similar preserved fruit procured by state and local school districts and corrections agencies for institutional foodservice. The recent activity under this code shows school nutrition programs and state corrections departments sourcing fresh and processed produce including dried fruits as part of broader cafeteria supply contracts. State and local buyers under this code include school boards, state departments of education, state corrections systems, and city boards of education nutrition centers. Purchases are typically bundled with other food commodities in multi-item IFBs rather than as standalone line items, with vendors required to meet USDA grade standards, Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP compliance, and strict delivery and food-safety protocols including 24/7 recall accessibility and E-Verify authorization.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB on June 2, 2026, for commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic bids due June 26, 2026, spanning 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas; the original response due date of April 21, 2026, was extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid IW236532, posted April 23, 2026) sought whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes to a Corpus location.
