UNSPSC 50331557: Dried organic newtown pippin apples

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

UNSPSC 50331557 Dried organic newtown pippin apples is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitation volume. The source contains twelve recent opportunities tagged to this code spanning January through June 2026, yet only two explicitly reference dried fruit products—a Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) and a Texas TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes. The remaining ten opportunities solicit fresh produce, fresh and frozen vegetables and fruits, general grocery items, and main-line food service distribution with no mention of dried organic newtown pippin apples specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either broad tagging by procurement offices or limited demand for this specific commodity in state and local school nutrition and correction-facility food service programs.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing dried fruit procurement include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), county governments (Santa Clara County, California), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia), and municipal boards (Bridgeport, Connecticut). The two dried-fruit-specific opportunities—Santa Clara County's five-year ITB for dried fruits and nuts with annual volumes of 1,000–5,880 cases (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) and Texas TDCJ's bid for whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size, minimum 1,400 boxes, Grade B quality (Bid No. IW236532, extended to February 20, 2026)—represent niche procurement activity dominated by large-scale institutional food service. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California and Connecticut. Fresh produce and general grocery procurement dominates the recent pipeline, suggesting that procurement offices may be casting wide nets with higher-tier codes rather than narrowing to specific commodity variants like dried organic newtown pippins.
