UNSPSC 50331535: Dried organic granny smith apples

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

UNSPSC 50331535 Dried organic granny smith apples is a Commodity code describing preserved apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show school districts and correctional facilities buying dried and fresh apples as line items within broader fresh produce or food commodity buys, though the code name specifies dried organic granny smith apples specifically. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) included multiple apple varieties, including Granny Smith, in its IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice both issued food commodity solicitations in May and June 2026. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state departments of education or corrections, with state procurement offices (Georgia and Texas) acting as centralized buyers on behalf of end-using agencies. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content apply across these opportunities, and HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and product traceability documentation are standard requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted its IFB on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 response deadline and delivery to three school sites in Sparta; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, with delivery to a single nutrition center; the State of Georgia posted a broad food commodities solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22; and Texas TDCJ issued two food procurements in May and April 2026 (IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4 for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, and Bid IW236532 for dried prunes due February 20). The code shows active recent state and local procurement activity, though the solicitations generally list dried organic granny smith apples as one item within much larger multi-category food buys rather than standalone specialty produce contracts.
