UNSPSC 50331575: Dried organic red stayman apples

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

UNSPSC 50331575 Dried organic red stayman apples, a Commodity code, covers dried and processed apple products procured by state and local governments, primarily school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections agencies buying dried apples as components of broader fresh and processed produce contracts rather than as standalone line items; the Hancock County Schools nutrition RFB for SY27 itemizes multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) as fresh produce, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia state procurement solicit processed and canned fruit categories that may include dried apple products. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, TDCJ Contracts and Procurement Department), and purchasing coalitions that aggregate institutional food needs. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance with a 51 percent domestic content minimum for processed products, USDA grade certifications, HACCP plans or equivalent food safety protocols, and firm fixed pricing for multi-year contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh produce line items with delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids (BNB053266) by June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with contract term through June 30, 2027. The Texas Comptroller, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with an extended due date of May 4, 2026, and contract term through August 31, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals. The Georgia state procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009) posted May 15, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026, spans food supplies and kitchen products across state agencies. A prior TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes, posted April 23, 2026, with original due date February 20, 2026, demonstrates institutional demand for dried fruit products as standalone procurement items.
