UNSPSC 50331544: Dried organic jester apples

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

UNSPSC 50331544 Dried organic jester apples is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity associated with it does not reflect procurement of dried organic jester apples specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities show school districts, cities, state agencies, and correctional systems procuring fresh and processed produce more broadly—including fresh apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz), dried fruits such as prunes, and mixed vegetables—as part of institutional nutrition programs. The scope spans cafeteria food products for school nutrition centers, corrections facilities, and state-operated services. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), state departments (Georgia, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and specialized state agencies (TDCJ). All recent solicitations impose Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural commodity content or domestic production to the maximum extent practical, with a 51 percent domestic ingredient threshold for processed products.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a due date of June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport issued Bid BNB053266 for 115 commodities line items (including produce) due June 26, 2026, for delivery to its nutrition center with firm fixed pricing through June 30, 2027 and MBE/CBE eligibility. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic areas, with response extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026, and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. TDCJ also solicited Bid IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B specifications, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus Christi location, revised due date of February 20, 2026. The code shows little activity specifically matching dried organic jester apples; the mismatch suggests either a UNSPSC classification misalignment or minimal demand for that specific product under this code in recent state and local procurement.
