UNSPSC 50331539: Dried organic honeycrisp apples

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

UNSPSC 50331539 Dried organic honeycrisp apples is a Commodity code representing fresh and processed fruit products that state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food service operations procure for institutional meal preparation and service. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying fresh apples across multiple varieties—including Honeycrisp alongside Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and Jazz—as part of broader fresh-produce and food-service contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code span school districts (both county and city boards of education), state departments, and correctional-facility operators. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut are the most visible repeat buyers in recent activity, each managing multi-year school nutrition contracts that include fresh apples among dozens of produce and food-service line items.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Northeast, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posting IFBs for fresh produce in June 2026, the State of Georgia posting a food supplies RFQ in May 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posting cafeteria food-product bids in May 2026. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties with bids due June 26, 2026, covering delivery to three school locations for the 2026-27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 for commodities including fruit and vegetable products with the same June 26, 2026 deadline for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. Both solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural-commodity content in processed products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products, due May 4, 2026, similarly encompasses fresh and processed fruits and vegetables alongside proteins and grains for distribution across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. All three school-based solicitations award to lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) with the option to split awards among multiple vendors.
