UNSPSC 50331560: Dried organic ozark gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50331560 Dried organic ozark gold apples, a Commodity code, does not see meaningful activity in state and local procurement. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not include dried Ozark Gold apples or any comparable dried apple products; instead, they span fresh produce, general grocery items, eggs, nuts, raisins, and cranberries supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state warehouses. The code's nominal specificity—a single dried apple varietal—appears misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns, which treat produce procurement at much higher levels of aggregation and do not isolate dried apple varieties as separate line items.

Recent activity clusters among school districts and state correctional systems in Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with IFBs and RFPs due primarily between February and June 2026. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) have all issued fresh produce solicitations—but each encompasses 70+ produce line items including fresh apples, berries, root vegetables, and prepared items, not dried specialty apples. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara (California Department of Correction), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) have posted separate commodity contracts, but none specify dried Ozark Gold apples. The mismatch between the code definition and actual procurement suggests vendors should monitor the broader fresh produce and grocery families (UNSPSC codes spanning fresh fruit and vegetable supply) rather than pursue opportunities narrowly tagged to this commodity code.
