UNSPSC 50331530: Dried organic gladstone apples

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

UNSPSC 50331530 Dried organic gladstone apples (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains twelve school nutrition, correctional facility, and food-service solicitations posted between January 28 and June 10, 2026, but none specifically name dried gladstone apples or reference this Commodity code. The opportunities instead cover fresh produce (apples listed generically as Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, and Jazz varieties), dried fruits more broadly (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix), and comprehensive food supply contracts spanning fresh and processed items across multiple categories. No issuing body, geographic region, or recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB response date anchors activity under this specific code.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices may tag food-supply contracts with broader codes (such as produce or dried-fruit categories) rather than varietal-specific Commodity codes, or that dried gladstone apples represent a niche item not routinely procured through public solicitations at the state and local level. School districts, county boards of education, correctional facilities, and county food services in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, and California dominate recent activity in fruit and vegetable procurement, but their published opportunities reflect demand for commodity-grade fresh apples and dried fruits in bulk rather than named varietal or organic-specific products. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether state and local nutrition programs actually specify gladstone apples in their procurement process or whether substitution to standard dried-apple or fresh-apple line items is standard practice.
