UNSPSC 50331573: Dried organic red gravenstein apples

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

UNSPSC 50331573 Dried organic red gravenstein apples is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities do not include solicitations specifically for dried organic red gravenstein apples. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect school district and correctional facility food service procurement for fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, and general grocery items that span much broader categories than the code's nominal scope. The Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce lists multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) among over 200 produce line items, and the County of Santa Clara's February 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts includes dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes but does not name dried organic gravenstein apples as a line item. The Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs references approximately 72 produce items including apples and bananas without itemizing specific varieties. The code shows a mismatch between its specific name and the actual procurement activity being tagged to it, suggesting either misclassification at the issuing body level or application of a higher-tier produce code to individual commodity selections.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are exclusively K–12 school districts and county correctional facilities in the Southeast and Western United States. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and County of Santa Clara Department of Correction (California) are the jurisdictions represented in the recent record. Most opportunities are IFB or RFP procurements with response dates between February and June 2026, with firm-fixed pricing required for the contract period. Buy American Act compliance with a 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity threshold is standard across school district food procurements, and USDA commodity standards, HACCP plans, and food-safety certifications are routine requirements. The absence of a specific dried organic gravenstein apple line item in any of the recent opportunities, combined with the broader fresh and dried fruit categories being solicited, suggests limited targeted demand for this commodity at the state and local level under its assigned code.
