UNSPSC 50331543: Dried organic jersey mac apples

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

UNSPSC 50331543 Dried organic jersey mac apples is a Commodity code encompassing dried apple products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. While the code name specifies dried organic jersey mac apples, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show that school districts and institutional buyers are actively purchasing fresh produce across multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside broader fresh and processed food items for cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level institutional procurement divisions (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and city purchasing departments on behalf of school nutrition centers. School nutrition programs emerge as the dominant buyer type under this code, driven by Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation in Connecticut. Hancock County Schools Nutrition posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, soliciting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year across over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties for delivery to three school locations with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for commodities including fruit and vegetable products to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with contract term through June 30, 2027 and optional one-year extension. The State of Georgia posted a solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with full scope contained in an attached document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items supplying multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, with initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two optional one-year renewals.
