UNSPSC 50331504: Dried organic baldwin apples

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

UNSPSC 50331504 Dried organic baldwin apples is a Commodity code that names a specific dried-fruit product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct targeting of dried apples. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged with or near this code reflect broader fresh and processed produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, where fresh apples in multiple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) appear as line items within larger fresh-produce bids rather than dried forms. School districts and state corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies, each procuring food commodities on annual or multi-year contracts that require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans or USDA grade certification, and firm fixed pricing over the contract term. The scope of work spans proteins, dairy, grains, fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, and specialty items delivered to multiple institutional kitchen or distribution sites across the contract year.

Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a response deadline of June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products to supply five geographic areas across Texas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026, and separately procured whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) for the Corpus location. The State of Georgia issued a broader food supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026. Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia with secondary presence in Connecticut; the dried-apples code itself shows limited recent state and local solicitation volume, with dried-fruit procurement appearing episodically rather than as a recurring category.
