UNSPSC 50331587: Dried organic tsugaru apples

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

UNSPSC 50331587 Dried organic tsugaru apples, a Commodity code, nominally covers specialty dried apple products but shows little relevant recent activity — the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code center on fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food service, not dried or organic apple products. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases both issued IFBs in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) and dozens of other items, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited dried prunes and cafeteria food products but not dried apples. School districts and corrections agencies are the primary issuing bodies using this code classification, though the actual purchasing focus is broad commodity food supply rather than the narrow dried organic apple category the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most concrete activity in the Southeast and Texas prison system. Hancock County Schools' IFB PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026, encompasses over 200 line items of fresh produce with deliveries to three school locations through June 30, 2027, while Bridgeport's BNB053266, also due June 26, 2026, covers 115 line items of produce and other commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under the Buy American Provision. Both require firm pricing for the contract term and payment within 30–45 days. The code's tagging appears to reflect miscategorization at the point of entry into state procurement systems rather than genuine market demand for dried organic tsugaru apples — vendors pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity scope in each RFQ before preparing a response, as the nominal code does not align with what is currently being bought.
