UNSPSC 50331510: Dried organic charles ross apples

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

UNSPSC 50331510 Dried organic Charles Ross apples, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of fresh and processed produce for institutional food service, though the recent solicitations under this code span the full spectrum of fresh fruits and vegetables rather than dried apples specifically. School districts and state food-service operations are the primary buyers, soliciting produce through IFBs to supply cafeteria and nutrition operations across multiple delivery sites. The scope of work encompasses fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty produce, with contracts typically running for one school or calendar year and firm pricing requirements. All solicitations encountered enforce the Buy American provision, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and school nutrition buyers impose strict HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, and product traceability with 24/7 recall accessibility.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and state departments as the primary issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple varieties with delivery to three school sites and a response date of June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) issued a commodities IFB the same week for 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products with a June 26, 2026, deadline and MBE/CBE applicability; the State of Georgia requested bids on May 15, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026, response date; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a May 4, 2026, deadline and single-vendor-per-line-item awards. All contracts require destination freight prepaid delivery, fixed pricing for the contract term, and compliance with USDA grade and inspection standards. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days, and issuers reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors and extend contracts.
