UNSPSC 50331550: Dried organic lady apples

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

UNSPSC 50331550 Dried organic lady apples, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of specialty dried fruit products to support institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and corrections facilities. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting dried organic lady apples; instead, recent activity targets broader dried fruit categories (dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, and prunes) supplied to correctional facilities and school districts, along with fresh produce and general grocery sourcing. The code shows little direct purchasing momentum in the sampled state and local opportunities, with dried specialty fruit items appearing only incidentally within larger dried-fruit-and-nuts RFPs or food supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity lines.

School districts and state corrections agencies dominate the institutional food service procurement landscape in the recent sample, with school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department representing the primary buyers. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and other southeastern states, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and California. Recent school nutrition opportunities emphasize fresh produce, eggs, and broader grocery staples rather than specialty dried fruits; the Santa Clara County ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) and the Texas TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid IW236532, posted April 23, 2026, originally due February 20, 2026) represent the only dried-fruit-specific procurement signals in the block, neither requesting dried organic lady apples specifically. The code shows minimal recent state and local purchasing activity aligned with its nominal commodity description.
