UNSPSC 50331517: Dried organic crispin apples

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

UNSPSC 50331517 Dried organic crispin apples is a Commodity code covering dehydrated apple products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional institutions, and other public food-service operations. State and local governments buy dried apples primarily as components within broader fresh and processed produce contracts for school lunch programs and institutional cafeterias. The work involves sourcing commodities that meet USDA grade standards, nutritional specifications, and Buy American requirements — typically a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products — with delivery to designated public facilities on firm-fixed pricing that includes transportation and handling. Issuing bodies include school districts, state departments of criminal justice, state procurement divisions, and municipal education boards, all operating under standard IFB or cooperative purchasing frameworks with sealed-bid submission and multi-location delivery requirements.
