UNSPSC 50331536: Dried organic gravenstein apples

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

UNSPSC 50331536 Dried organic gravenstein apples is a Commodity code that nominally names a single fresh-fruit product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited specificity — recent school nutrition and food-service contracts tag broad fresh-produce and grocery categories under overlapping UNSPSC assignments, and only one recent opportunity explicitly names dried fruits as a line item within a larger solicitation. School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities are the primary buyers. The scope of work state and local governments actually procure under similar fruit-commodity codes encompasses fresh produce delivery to school cafeterias, breakfast and lunch programs, and detention facilities, with contracts typically requiring USDA Grade A or B certification, Buy American compliance, HACCP food-safety plans, weekly or as-needed delivery to multiple sites, and firm-fixed pricing for multi-year terms. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce solicitation (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) spans over 200 fresh-produce line items including multiple apple varieties; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh-produce bid (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) covers 72 fresh-produce items with annual volumes reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples alone; and the County of Santa Clara dried-fruits procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) itemized dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for the County's correctional food service.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System all posting solicitations in the first half of 2026; additional school-district procurement occurred in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (TDCJ), and California (Santa Clara County). No single code assignment dominates the sourcing — school districts and state agencies appear to split produce, grocery, and prepared-food commodities across multiple UNSPSC classifications, making precise activity under 50331536 difficult to isolate from the broader fresh-produce and food-service commodity cluster. The Georgia state food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and the Texas TDCJ cafeteria-food-products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) both encompass multi-category food procurement with unspecified fresh-fruit line-item detail. Dried-fruit specificity appears rare in recent postings; the Santa Clara County dried-fruits bid is the only recent opportunity explicitly centered on dried-fruit provision, suggesting the code may see episodic rather than continuous procurement activity in state and local markets.
