UNSPSC 50321596: Dried york imperial apples

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

UNSPSC 50321596 Dried York Imperial apples is a Commodity code covering dried apple products for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitation volume. School districts, state departments, and state correctional systems are the primary issuing bodies in the available records, all soliciting under food service and nutrition programs that span produce and commodity procurement broadly. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 fresh produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty items; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) across approximately 382 line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and fresh and canned vegetables and fruits. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and firm fixed pricing for contract periods are standard in these solicitations. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas; the State of Georgia and TDCJ both appear as repeat institutional food service buyers. Representative recent opportunities show strong demand for fresh produce and broad commodity supply to school nutrition centers and correctional facilities, but no recent solicitation specifically identified as targeting dried York Imperial apples or dried apple products appears in the available records, suggesting this Commodity code sees limited targeted procurement activity at present relative to the broader produce and food service categories it sits within.
