UNSPSC 50327029: Dried rose apples

The type of fruit known as rose apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50327029 Dried rose apples, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit product, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad fresh and frozen grocery procurement for school nutrition programs, corrections food services, and institutional feeding — fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared foods rather than dried rose apples specifically. A single opportunity directly addressing dried fruits (Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services) listed raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, but not dried rose apples. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the breadth of actual solicitations suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that dried rose apples, if procured at all by state and local bodies, are embedded within larger commodity buys rather than solicited as standalone line items.

Issuing bodies across the recent block include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), a state department (Georgia), a county corrections facility (Santa Clara County, California), and a state prison system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a due date of June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 solicitation for over 900 grocery items with electronic submission by April 29, 2026; and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two Georgia areas with proposals due March 4, 2026. Given the code's narrow definition and the absence of discrete dried rose apple opportunities in the dataset, pursuit under this specific commodity code is not supported by current market activity.
