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 (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The twelve most recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition procurement for fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy products, proteins, and miscellaneous grocery items—none of which align with dried organic tsugaru apples as a specific commodity. The sourced opportunities reflect broad-based food service contracting by school districts, correctional facilities, and county education systems across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and California between January and June 2026, but none name dried apples of any variety, let alone the tsugaru cultivar, as a line item or procurement focus. The misdating and scope mismatch suggest the code assignment does not reflect actual buying patterns under this commodity.

School nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity under this code tag, with solicitations such as the Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (due April 27, 2026) both seeking fresh produce in volume—apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus—but neither mentions dried fruits as a category. The Douglas County School System RFP for Fresh Produce and Eggs (due March 4, 2026) similarly specifies fresh commodities only. One exception is Santa Clara County's ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts (due February 5, 2026) supporting correctional food services, which does procure dried fruits—raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend—but no apples. The code's nominal name and the actual buying signals do not converge; business development activity under 50331587 should track whether the code remains active or whether procurement offices are reassigning dried-fruit contracts to different taxonomy entries.
