UNSPSC 50331577: Dried organic reinette apples

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

UNSPSC 50331577 Dried organic reinette apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and counties purchasing fresh and processed produce in bulk, including fresh apples alongside dried fruit items, though the specific subset of organic dried reinette apples appears rarely if ever explicitly named in recent state and local notices. The code's scope reflects broader dried-fruit procurement by institutional food service operators—school nutrition departments represent the dominant buyer class, followed by county corrections systems. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (both individual districts and cooperative buying groups serving multiple districts), county boards of education, and county correctional facilities. Repeat buyers include the Douglas County School System in Georgia (which has issued multiple RFPs for produce and food distribution), Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, indicating sustained institutional demand across school nutrition programs in the Southeast.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California and Connecticut. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, IFB, due June 26, 2026) soliciting over 200 fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties for delivery to three school sites; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System School Nutrition Fresh Produce contract (SCCPSS, sealed bid, due April 23, 2026) covering 72 fresh produce items with estimated annual orders reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples; and the County of Santa Clara Dried Fruits and Nuts ITB (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department of Correction, due February 5, 2026) requiring dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for correctional food service. All school nutrition procurements carry Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), firm fixed pricing for the contract term, weekly or regular delivery schedules to multiple school sites, and HACCP/food safety compliance. Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days. Prices must remain stable across annual contract periods, with limited allowances for documented manufacturer price increases or formula adjustments tied to USDA or labor bureau indices.
