UNSPSC 50331564: Dried organic pink lady apples

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

UNSPSC 50331564 Dried organic pink lady apples is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific produce item, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code show minimal direct procurement of dried organic pink lady apples and instead reflect broad fresh produce acquisition across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and district food services. K-12 school districts—including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—dominate the recent opportunities, typically bundling apples (fresh varieties such as Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp) into large master grocery or fresh-produce contracts spanning 72 to over 900 line items and requiring weekly delivery to multiple school sites. State-level and criminal-justice food services—including the Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department—also solicit under produce-related codes but with distinct scope (cafeteria staples, dried fruits for detention facilities, and commodity distribution). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear consistently across school and state opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic (Georgia, Virginia, Missouri) and extends to the Southwest (Texas) and West Coast (California). Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three schools), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum 76 items from school-delivery section), Liberty County Board of Education IFB for Food Products (sealed bids due April 29, 2026, over 400 food items), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh-produce bid (sealed bids due April 23, 2026, 72 produce items), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, approximately $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two estimated annual spending across 30 districts), and Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (sealed bids due February 5, 2026, for detention facility food services). None of these solicitations specifically target dried organic pink lady apples; the code appears to capture broader fresh and dried fruit procurement where dried organic varieties may represent a small or absent subset of actual orders.
