UNSPSC 50331508: Dried organic calville blanche d'hiver apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic calville blanche d'hiver apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331508 Dried organic calville blanche d'hiver apples is a Commodity code that captures school nutrition and institutional food procurement. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show school districts and departments of criminal justice soliciting fresh produce and prepared food items through IFBs and RFQs, though the code's nominal scope (dried organic apples of a specific heritage variety) does not align closely with the actual buying activity. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center are both purchasing broad fresh produce assortments spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce through IFBs with June 2026 response deadlines; neither opportunity specifically references the Calville Blanche d'Hiver variety. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple food procurement solicitations through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, including an IFB for cafeteria food products (382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and canned/fresh produce) and an IFB for whole pitted dried prunes, but again no specific reference to the code's named commodity appears in the available scope summaries. The State of Georgia also issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid with limited detail in the posted notice.

Activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with issuing bodies split between school districts (Hancock County Schools, City of Bridgeport) and state-level criminal justice and procurement agencies (Texas TDCJ through the Comptroller's office, State of Georgia). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity tied to dried organic calville blanche d'hiver apples specifically; the opportunities posted are generic institutional food buys that happen to carry this UNSPSC tag. School nutrition contracts typically require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans or USDA compliance documentation, and delivery to multiple institutional locations with firm pricing for the contract term. Vendors should note that school district awards often flow to single or multiple bidders at the buyer's discretion, payment terms run 30 to 45 days post-invoice, and backup stock and 24-hour emergency delivery capability are frequently required.
