UNSPSC 50331506: Dried organic bramley apples

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

UNSPSC 50331506 Dried organic bramley apples is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure dried fruit products—primarily dried apples, prunes, cranberries, raisins, and mixed dried fruits—as components of institutional food service operations serving schools, detention facilities, and other public agencies. Recent solicitations show that dried fruit appears as a line item within broader fresh and dried produce contracts rather than as a standalone commodity purchase; the code's nominal focus on organic bramley apples does not align closely with actual procurement activity, which treats dried fruits as one element of comprehensive nutrition and food supply programs. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity also visible from state departments, county school systems, county corrections departments, and county health and social services agencies. The geographic spread spans California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with Georgia and Texas showing the most recent activity through their respective school district and corrections procurement channels.

Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara, California ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply the Department of Correction–Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026), which called for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with a five-year contract term; the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026) encompassing an estimated $9 million annual spend across 32 schools serving 25,500 students; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services IFB for grocery items including dried fruits across over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026). Dried fruit procurement remains embedded within larger food service contracts, and standalone dried-fruit bids are infrequent; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid as part of comprehensive produce, grocery, or institutional food service packages rather than as a single-product line.
