UNSPSC 50331567: Dried organic pomme d'api apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic pomme d'api apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50331567 Dried organic pomme d'api apples is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses fresh and processed produce supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food services across multiple jurisdictions. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect broad fresh-produce procurement for institutional foodservice rather than the narrow specialty product the code name suggests — school districts and state agencies are sourcing diverse apple varieties alongside berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens as part of comprehensive meal-service contracts. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), city departments of public purchase on behalf of boards of education (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state criminal-justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts). Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products are standard across school nutrition solicitations; MBE and CBE certifications apply in Connecticut jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools posted an IFB (SN002-2027) on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties and other produce for delivery to three school locations during the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with awards available to single or multiple bidders and contract term through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in early May 2026 (original due date April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, with contract term from Notice of Award through August 31, 2027, and two optional one-year renewals. A Texas TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532) posted April 23, 2026, with a due date of February 20, 2026 (already closed), required U.S. Grade B quality, 1,400-box minimum order, and USDA grade certification.
