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

UNSPSC 50326800 Dried sugar apple, a Class code, encompasses commodity food products purchased by state and local agencies for institutional nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with the nominal code scope.

Work being solicited includes annual or multi-year term contracts for fresh and processed produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees delivered on fixed or demand-usage bases to multiple school sites, kitchens, or central warehouses, typically with firm pricing, Buy American compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), USDA or state-specific nutritional standards, and HACCP or food safety certification mandates.
