UNSPSC 50331503: Dried organic api apples

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

UNSPSC 50331503 Dried organic api apples, a Commodity code, names a narrow product category that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation; the source shows no recent opportunities specifically targeting dried organic apples. Recent school nutrition and correctional food service solicitations span fresh and dried fruits broadly—fresh apples by variety (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp), dried prunes, and mixed dried fruit blends—but none isolate dried organic apples as a line item. The code's narrow scope (organic certification, dried preparation, api variety designation) falls outside the commodity mix actually being bought by school districts, county corrections systems, and state food service agencies in the current market.

School districts dominate recent food procurement activity across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia, with Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, and Douglas County Schools each soliciting annual food supply contracts under IFB or RFP vehicles. Correctional facilities and sheriff's departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Corrections) round out issuing bodies. Food service opportunities cluster around fresh produce staples, prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, and canned goods delivered weekly to multiple school sites or central warehouses, with Buy American and nutritional compliance requirements standard across jurisdictions. The County of Santa Clara issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) due February 5, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026, but neither specification matches dried organic apples. The code shows little recent relevant activity.
