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 that captures state and local procurement of specialty and commodity dried fruit products for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and detention facilities. The recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct specification for macoun apples in particular; instead, state and local buyers are sourcing dried fruits as components of broader fresh and processed produce contracts, dried fruit assortments, or specialty food bundles tied to school lunch programs, correctional facility feeding operations, and district-wide nutrition procurement. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state correctional systems also appear as repeat buyers. The sourcing patterns reflect Buy American requirements, USDA compliance mandates, and firm-fixed pricing structures typical of annual nutrition contracts.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and reflects broader school-district nutrition procurement cycles across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with activity also recorded in California (Santa Clara County correctional food services), Texas (Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria foods), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (Dried Fruits and Nuts, due February 5, 2026) specifying dried cranberries and tropical fruit mix alongside nuts for Elmwood Correctional Facility, and the Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027 (Fresh Produce SY27, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items including multiple apple varieties, with dried or processed variants likely embedded in broader commodity groupings. The code shows activity primarily in institutional and K-12 nutrition contexts; however, explicit solicitation volumes specifically for dried organic macoun apples remain sparse in recent postings, suggesting the commodity sits at the tail of broader dried-fruit procurement activity rather than as a standalone or high-volume line item.
