UNSPSC 50331547: Dried organic jonathan apples

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

UNSPSC 50331547 Dried organic jonathan apples (Commodity) covers dried apple products sold to state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent state and local opportunities show school districts and state institutional food services soliciting dried fruit under this code as part of broader fresh and processed produce procurements for cafeteria operations. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce serving three school locations across the 2026-27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 (due date extended to May 4, 2026) for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations statewide. The source records show no recent opportunities specifically targeting dried apples as a standalone line item; instead, the code appears to capture processed fruit products when they appear within larger school nutrition and institutional food-service procurements. Buy American provisions are standard across these opportunities, requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Vendors responding to these solicitations must provide HACCP or USDA compliance documentation, maintain commercial liability insurance, comply with nutritional labeling and formulation requirements, and accept firm pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as principal buyers in the most recent opportunities. The Hancock County IFB encompasses over 200 line items of fresh and processed produce for school nutrition centers with delivery to three locations; the TDCJ solicitation spans approximately 382 line items across multiple food categories for multiple warehouse distribution points. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also posted a commodity bid in June 2026 for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026, and MBE/CBE certification applicable under city ordinance. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies procurement in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline, though the full scope is contained in an attached document not detailed in the source. Geographic spread spans the Southeast (Georgia), Texas, and the Northeast (Connecticut), reflecting school-district and state-agency demand for school lunch and institutional dining commodities.
