UNSPSC 50331563: Dried organic pearmain apples

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

UNSPSC 50331563 Dried organic pearmain apples, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally covers a specific dried apple variety, but the recent opportunities block does not surface any solicitations explicitly requesting dried pearmain apples or organic dried apples by that designation. School districts, corrections departments, and county food service operations dominate the recent activity in dried fruit and nut procurement—the Commodity family to which this code belongs—but they are sourcing dried fruit more broadly (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, pecans) rather than pearmain apples specifically. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) exemplifies the typical scope: five line items of dried fruits and nuts delivered to a correctional facility on FOB Destination terms, with firm fixed pricing for Year 1 and optional annual increases capped at a bidder-specified maximum through Year 5.

Geographic activity for dried fruit procurement spans California (Santa Clara County), Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Texas (TDCJ), reflecting school nutrition and corrections department demand. Procurement occurs year-round; recent visible opportunities posted January through June 2026 target contract periods beginning July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. However, no recent IFB, RFP, RFQ, or ITB explicitly names dried pearmain apples, dried organic apples, or any branded dried apple product as a line item. The code appears underutilized or misaligned with current state and local buying patterns in the available opportunities dataset.
