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, a Commodity code, describes fresh and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, though the code's narrow focus on dried York Imperial apples specifically does not align closely with recent solicitation activity. Recent school district procurement has emphasized fresh produce sourcing rather than dried specialty apple varieties; the most recent opportunities naming apple products explicitly request fresh Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, and Ambrosia apples delivered weekly to school sites, not dried York Imperial stock. A related opportunity from Santa Clara County in January 2026 solicited dried fruits—raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix—for a correctional facility, but no recent state or local opportunity has named York Imperial apples, dried or fresh, as a line item.

School districts dominate recent activity under broader fresh produce and grocery procurement, with multiple solicitations posted by Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County via GEC Buying Cooperative), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport for the Board of Education Nutrition Center), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria procurement), and California (Santa Clara County correctional food services). Hancock County Schools posted a fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables with delivery to three school locations; Douglas County School System issued an RFP due March 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative covering approximately $5.5 million in annual spending; Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026, covering 45 schools plus distribution facilities in Virginia. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried York Imperial apples, indicating a narrow or inactive procurement segment at the state and local level.
