UNSPSC 50326802: Dried seedless sugar apple

The variety of sugar apples known as seedless sugar apple that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50326802 Dried seedless sugar apple is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities under this code show minimal direct solicitation for the nominal product. School districts and state criminal justice agencies dominate the issuing bodies, but they solicit fresh produce and prepared foods far more frequently than dried specialty fruits. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables for the 2026-27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submission due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued solicitations for cafeteria food products and dried prunes throughout the period. When dried fruit does appear, it aligns with correctional-facility dietary requirements and bulk food service operations rather than consumer retail or specialty markets.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the Texas TDCJ accounting for multiple solicitations spanning dried prunes, cafeteria proteins, and staple foods across five geographic warehouse distribution areas. The Hancock County Schools IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) itemized over 200 fresh produce line items delivered to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing and 51 percent domestic content required under Buy American provisions. The Bridgeport Board of Education bid (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covered 115 commodities with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and Net 45 payment terms through June 30, 2027. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food IFB (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026) specified approximately 382 line items with FOB Destination delivery to six Texas warehouse locations and a contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026, amended) required U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1. The code shows sporadic rather than active demand for the narrowly defined dried seedless sugar apple product itself.
