UNSPSC 50326800: Dried sugar apple

The type of fruit known as sugar apple that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326800 Dried sugar apple is a Class code that encompasses procurement of dried apple products and related dried fruit commodities for use in school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state and local government cafeteria operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dried fruit as components within broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code captures dried apple and similar preserved fruit products that school districts and institutional buyers source for meal preparation and nutrition compliance. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, state departments of education and corrections, and municipal purchasing offices. School nutrition programs and institutional food-service operations represent the primary customer base, with contracts typically structured as annual or multi-year agreements requiring compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products) and USDA grade and nutritional standards.
