UNSPSC 50331556: Dried organic mutsu apples

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

UNSPSC 50331556 Dried organic mutsu apples, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent activity in the source documents shows no solicitations specifically for dried organic mutsu apples; instead, state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and regional education cooperatives are procuring broad categories of fresh and frozen produce, dried fruits more generally, eggs, proteins, grains, and comprehensive grocery items to support cafeteria operations and food services. The few references to dried fruit procurement (such as dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes through Santa Clara County's correctional-facility food service) do not isolate mutsu apples as a line item, nor do they emphasize organic sourcing or any specific apple variety. School districts and county boards of education dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state departments of corrections, state correctional-justice agencies, and special-purpose procurement vehicles such as regional buying cooperatives. Jurisdictions soliciting grocery and produce contracts include Hancock County Schools and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Santa Clara County Department of Correction (California), alongside state-level procurement by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary clustering in Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California. Representative recent solicitations show school districts issuing IFBs and RFPs for multi-hundred-line-item fresh-produce and grocery contracts with responses due in late April through June 2026: Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for food products (due April 29, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) grocery items (due April 29, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The code shows minimal recent procurement activity specific to dried organic mutsu apples; sourcing signals suggest business development focus should rest on broader dried-fruit and fresh-produce supply categories where state and local education and corrections agencies are actively issuing contracts.
