UNSPSC 50331509: Dried organic cameo apples

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

UNSPSC 50331509 Dried organic cameo apples (Commodity) covers dried apple products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food supply systems. State and local governments buy dried apples primarily as components within broader food-service procurement packages rather than as standalone line items. The recent opportunities show dried apples appearing alongside fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and canned goods in multi-category food solicitations serving school cafeterias, nutrition centers, and institutional kitchens. School districts and state departments of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with correctional and penal systems also active buyers. The few dedicated dried-fruit opportunities post as narrow, single-item IFBs targeting specific facilities or warehouses rather than system-wide buys.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026–27 school year with a June 26 response date, though the scope emphasized fresh rather than dried apples. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic submission due June 26, 2026, under IFB BNB053266, with contract through June 30, 2027 and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia posted an IFB on May 15, 2026 for food supplies and kitchen products with a June 22 response deadline. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued multiple food-related IFBs, including Bid No. IW236532 for dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 deadline (already closed), and IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with a May 4, 2026 response date spanning approximately 382 line items across TDCJ warehouse locations. All school nutrition procurements enforce Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance certification, and standard insurance; no minority set-asides appear in the recent sample.
