UNSPSC 50331593: Dried organic white transparent apples

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

UNSPSC 50331593 Dried organic white transparent apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and county systems buying dried produce — including dried apples, raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends — as shelf-stable components of meal programs and snack offerings. School nutrition departments dominate the buying pattern, with secondary volume from correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Schools in Missouri, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), cooperative purchasing vehicles led by school systems (GEC Buying Cooperative through Douglas County Schools serving 30 districts across Georgia), and county correctional systems (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department). The work typically involves firm fixed-price supply contracts with weekly or as-needed delivery to multiple school sites or detention facilities, Buy American compliance requirements, HACCP and food safety certifications, and contract terms running one year with renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Virginia, with secondary representation in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties posted June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items including apples, due April 23, 2026 via Bonfire; and the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to supply Elmwood Correctional Facility, a five-year all-or-none procurement of dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans with bids due February 5, 2026. Douglas County Schools' cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts budgeted approximately $5.5 million combined (Areas One and Two) with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. School nutrition contracts typically require three to five years of prior experience with similar accounts, $1 million commercial general liability insurance with the district named as additional insured, firm pricing for the full contract period with no fuel surcharges, and electronic submission through district procurement portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, or proprietary systems). No set-aside designations or incumbent vendor restrictions appear in available documentation across these solicitations.
