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, a Commodity code, does not see active state and local procurement solicitation activity. The recent opportunities dataset contains no bids, RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs specifically requesting dried organic ambrosia apples. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and California—the jurisdictions with the densest recent activity in this code tier—solicit fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive food supply under adjacent codes. The Hancock County Board of Education nutrition solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) includes fresh Ambrosia apples among 200+ fresh produce line items but does not segregate dried organic varieties. The County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) specified dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food services, with no mention of dried apples. Dried fruit procurement at the state and local level appears concentrated on commodity-scale sourcing for institutional food service—school nutrition, corrections, and county purchasing—where specifications emphasize volume packaging, USDA compliance, pricing firm-fixed for contract terms, and delivery to centralized distribution points.

The mismatch between the code designation (dried organic ambrosia apples) and what state and local governments are actually buying suggests minimal or no current demand for this specific product line. School districts and counties buying produce focus on fresh supply contracts with multi-hundred-line-item scopes, and when they solicit dried fruits, the RFPs call for mixed dried fruit blends, raisins, or tree nuts rather than dried apple varieties by cultivar. No recent solicitation names a vendor, incumbent, set-aside, or budget allocation for dried organic ambrosia apples. Vendors pursuing work in food supply to state and local institutions should monitor the broader school nutrition and institutional food service codes under which these jurisdictions actively award, rather than track this commodity code.
