UNSPSC 50331533: Dried organic golden delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50331533 Dried organic golden delicious apples, a Commodity code, does not reflect substantial recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope—dried organic apples specifically—diverges sharply from the actual work state and local governments are buying under it. Review of recent opportunities tagged to this code shows school districts and correctional facilities soliciting broad fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, and dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans), but no dedicated solicitations for dried organic golden delicious apples as a standalone line item. The one opportunity explicitly naming apples—Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27—specifies fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) for the 2026–27 school year, not dried organic golden delicious. The Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) covers raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans but excludes dried apples of any type. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging artifact or exceptionally low demand for this specific commodity in the state and local market during the current cycle.

School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities dominate recent solicitation activity, but their focus is on comprehensive food service supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items rather than individual dried fruit commodities. Recent opportunities in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Texas (TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and California (Santa Clara County) all target fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries delivered on standing weekly or as-needed bases under one-year through five-year contracts. The code shows minimal standalone relevance to current procurement patterns, and business development professionals should consider this code low-priority unless direct outreach to specific school districts or correctional food-service operations reveals latent demand for dried organic apple products as a secondary line item within broader produce or snack contracts.
