UNSPSC 50331589: Dried organic tydeman red apples

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

UNSPSC 50331589 Dried organic Tydeman red apples (Commodity) does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The code is narrowly specific to a single dried-apple variety, but recent school nutrition solicitations in the block span broad fresh and dried fruit categories without isolating any particular cultivar or emphasizing organic sourcing. Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (SY27, due June 26, 2026) includes multiple apple varieties—Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz—alongside berries, vegetables, and specialty produce; the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) specifies dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends but not dried apples. School districts and county corrections facilities dominate the issuing bodies. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) each bid fresh produce and grocery items for the 2026-27 school year; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for a main-line food service distributor serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual spend. The Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also appear as repeat food-procurement issuers.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham) account for multiple recent solicitations—with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax), Missouri (Rockwood), Texas (TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). No recent opportunity names dried Tydeman red apples specifically or emphasizes organic certification. The code's narrow commodity scope appears mismatched to the actual procurement breadth vendors encounter under UNSPSC fruit and produce classifications in state and local school nutrition and corrections food service.
