UNSPSC 50331529: Dried organic ginger gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50331529 Dried organic ginger gold apples is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed produce procurement by state and local school districts, correctional facilities, and county health systems. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for dried organic ginger gold apples; instead, the code shows activity concentrated in school nutrition fresh produce contracts, general grocery supply for cafeterias and correctional facilities, and broader dried-fruit-and-nuts procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests either the code has been misapplied in state and local systems or dried organic ginger gold apples represent a narrow line item within larger produce or commodity contracts rather than a standalone procurement driver.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code tier, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all posting IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce or consolidated grocery supply between January and June 2026. The County of Santa Clara (California) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appear as repeat procurers of dried fruits. Most opportunities run July 1 through June 30 on annual cycles with renewal options. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce with response due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz); the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts due February 5, 2026, requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on a five-year contract with firm pricing for Year 1; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB due April 27, 2026, establishing grocery product supply across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, California, and Texas. All recent school-based solicitations mandate Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content), HACCP certification, E-Verify authorization, and firm fixed pricing for the contract term.
