UNSPSC 50331554: Dried organic macoun apples

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

UNSPSC 50331554 Dried organic macoun apples is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other government food service operations. State and local buyers solicit this category as part of broader fresh and processed produce RFPs and IFBs that bundle apples and other dried or fresh fruits with vegetables, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries. The actual work involves supplying USDA-compliant, domestically sourced dried apple products (often as a line item within larger fresh-produce or commodity food contracts) to institutional kitchens and nutrition centers. School districts and state corrections departments appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code, with school nutrition programs pursuing multi-category produce buys that name specific apple varieties and dried-fruit options.

Recent opportunities show activity across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for a 115-item commodities contract to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026), with full scope in an attached document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (originally due April 21, extended to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for five geographic TDCJ warehouse areas. All solicitations require compliance with the Buy American provision mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, USDA grade standards, HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety documentation, and firm-fixed pricing for the contract term.
