UNSPSC 50321592: Dried white joaneting apples

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

UNSPSC 50321592 Dried white joaneting apples, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and processed apple procurement by state and local governments, primarily school nutrition programs and institutional food services. The recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state criminal justice systems buying fresh apples alongside broad produce baskets and cafeteria commodities, with apples appearing as line items within multi-category food RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone specialty purchases. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix — Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) within institutional meal-service contracts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procures cafeteria food products for inmate feeding across multiple facilities. These buyers enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products and demand HACCP plans, health certifications, and E-Verify authorization from vendors. School districts often reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors and require firm fixed pricing over multi-year terms with delivery to designated locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline covering fresh produce delivery to three school locations for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport posted a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, through the OpenGov e-procurement portal for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB due June 22, 2026 (full scope in attachment). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, spanning 382 cafeteria food line items across five geographic distribution areas with delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations; an earlier TDCJ bid for dried prunes (IW236532) closed February 20, 2026. School nutrition contracts typically run July through June or full fiscal years and enforce Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms with all transportation and fuel costs included in bid pricing.
