UNSPSC 50331511: Dried organic codlin apples

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

UNSPSC 50331511 Dried organic codlin apples is a Commodity code that encompasses dried apple products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code reveal that purchasing bodies acquire dried fruit primarily as component ingredients within broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the Commodity code appears in school meal and institutional cafeteria procurement where dried apples compete alongside fresh produce, frozen items, and other staple foods under consolidated food-supply IFBs. School districts and state correctional departments are the primary issuing bodies, with nutrition centers requiring USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), and adherence to established food-safety standards including HACCP plans and grade certifications. Vendors must accommodate multi-location delivery, firm fixed pricing across contract periods typically running July through June, and compatibility with centralized ordering systems such as TITAN School Solutions.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with documented recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026, and Bid IW236532 for dried prunes, due February 20, 2026). The Hancock County Schools solicitation, while emphasizing fresh produce across over 200 line items, does not explicitly name dried organic codlin apples; the broader Georgia state food procurement and TDCJ cafeteria contracts likely contain dried fruit specifications but are not itemized in available summaries. The Commodity code shows limited visibility in recent posted opportunities, suggesting that dried organic apple procurement under this specific code designation occurs within larger institutional food packages rather than as standalone solicitations.
