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 does not reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local opportunities. School districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and correctional facilities are soliciting through this code for diverse fresh and processed food products—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments—spanning hundreds of line items per solicitation, but dried organic apples appear in none of the twelve recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026. The code's narrow scope (dried organic codlin apples) conflicts sharply with what these issuing bodies are actually buying: Hancock County Schools in Georgia solicited over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) plus berries, vegetables, and specialty items; Rockwood School District in Missouri sought over 900 grocery items; Douglas County Schools in Georgia, via the GEC Buying Cooperative, requested fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts with $5.5 million estimated annual spending; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and condiments across multiple TDCJ distribution points.

The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Hancock County, Fairfax County, Rockwood, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Comptroller for TDCJ, California County of Santa Clara Sheriff), and municipal governments (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and California, with most recent opportunities issued by K–12 school nutrition programs operating on July 1–June 30 fiscal cycles. Recent solicitations include IFBs from Hancock County Schools (fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia (food products, IFB, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (fresh produce bid, due April 23, 2026), and RFPs from Douglas County Schools in Georgia (fresh produce and eggs via GEC Buying Cooperative, proposals due March 4, 2026; food supply and distribution, proposals due February 18, 2026) and Santa Clara County, California (dried fruits and nuts for correctional facility, ITB, due February 5, 2026). All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, firm fixed pricing for the full contract term, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites on compressed daily windows. The code designation appears misaligned with actual procurement scope and does not support business development targeting under this commodity code.
