UNSPSC 50331561: Dried organic pacific rose apples

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

UNSPSC 50331561 Dried organic pacific rose apples, a Commodity code, describes fresh and dried produce procured by school districts and state correctional agencies through multiple annual competitive solicitations; while the code name specifies dried organic Pacific rose apples, the recent opportunities show school nutrition programs and correctional facilities buying fresh produce and commodity proteins across broad line-item catalogs, with the code applied to multi-category food solicitations rather than to dried apple products specifically. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted opportunities under this code in the past six months, with school districts dominating the recent activity. The work consists of annual or multi-year competitively bid supply agreements for foodservice commodities delivered to school nutrition centers, correctional facilities, or state warehouses, with quantities specified by line item, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, Buy American compliance required (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products), and awards typically made to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bids or best value.

Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 response deadline for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited bids on June 26, 2026 (RFQ deadline) for 115 line item commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with contract term through June 30, 2027 and electronic submission through OpenGov Procurement Portal. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products opportunity on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date (full scope contained in attached solicitation document). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Statewide Procurement Division for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, produce, and staples with extended delivery across five geographic regions and an original April 21, 2026 deadline extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026; a separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532, issued April 23, 2026) targeted dried prunes specifically with a February 20, 2026 amendment. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts and state correctional systems as the primary issuing bodies.
