UNSPSC 50331502: Dried organic ambrosia apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic ambrosia apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331502 Dried organic ambrosia apples is a Commodity code covering dried, organic ambrosia apple products purchased by state and local education and correctional agencies. State and local governments buy these products as part of broader food service procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional feeding operations. Recent solicitations show ambrosia apples appearing as line items within large fresh and processed produce contracts alongside other apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, and specialty fruits, rather than as standalone dried-apple procurements. School districts and state departments of education dominate the issuing-body mix, though state corrections agencies also purchase food commodities that include dried fruit. The code itself is narrow—dried organic ambrosia apples—but state and local buyers typically contract for this item as part of aggregated food service RFQs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of product lines.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities bid on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 deadline; full scope and line items are contained in the attached solicitation document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026 response deadline) covering approximately 382 line items including vegetables, fruits, and miscellaneous staples for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products) apply across these school nutrition procurements. The code shows limited standalone solicitation activity; dried ambrosia apples appear within broader food-service contracts rather than as dedicated commodity buys.
