UNSPSC 50331545: Dried organic jonagold apples

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

UNSPSC 50331545 Dried organic jonagold apples (Commodity) covers specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state correctional facilities sourcing dried and fresh produce as part of comprehensive food supply contracts, though the opportunities in this block predominantly feature fresh produce and broader commodity categories rather than dried organic apples specifically. Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables exemplifies the institutional produce-procurement model under which dried organic jonagold apples would compete, typically bundled with fresh fruit offerings and subject to Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products). School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with nutrition centers and cafeteria operations as end-use locations.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominate recent solicitations. Opportunities typically feature consolidated IFB processes with firm pricing for 12-month contract periods running July to June or aligned to fiscal year, delivery to multiple school or institutional sites, HACCP or USDA compliance requirements, and Buy American certifications. The Hancock County IFB (due June 26, 2026) and Bridgeport commodities bid (due June 26, 2026) are representative; both require sealed bids through formal notice, delivery to designated nutrition centers, and compliance with federal domestic-content rules. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) shows state correctional systems as secondary buyers. These solicitations indicate consistent demand for institutional dried and fresh fruit products, though the code itself shows limited recent activity tagged exclusively to dried organic jonagold apples; procurement officers often consolidate dried fruit into broader fresh/frozen produce line-item structures.
