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, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect dried or processed apple products. Instead, the opportunities soliciting under this code focus on fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional-facility food service, with fresh apples appearing as line items alongside other fresh fruits and vegetables in broad commodity solicitations rather than as specialty dried products. The scope of work includes school districts and state agencies purchasing fresh produce—including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) and other fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—for cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state criminal justice departments; Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport's Board of Education Nutrition Center posted IFB notices for fresh produce in June 2026, while the State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted broader food-commodity solicitations. All solicitations carry Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, with HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, and product-liability insurance among standard vendor qualifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) covers over 200 fresh-produce line items with delivery to three school locations for the July 2026–June 2027 contract year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut IFB BNB053266 (due June 26, 2026) encompasses 115 commodity line items for the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) itemizes approximately 382 food products across five geographic areas for multiple warehouse locations. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied specifically to dried organic ginger gold apples; the tag appears to be a mismatch with the actual fresh-produce procurement being executed under these opportunities.
