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 covers dried apple products supplied to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show school districts and correctional systems purchasing fresh apples alongside broader fresh produce and food-service commodities, though the code's nominal scope for dried organic varieties appears narrower than the actual buying activity recorded. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related fresh produce and commodity codes include school district nutrition departments (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and regional procurement divisions. The work spans fresh produce procurement for K–12 school nutrition programs, institutional cafeteria supply, and specialized correctional facility food service, with vendors required to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food-safety plans, USDA grade certifications, and comprehensive liability insurance.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26, 2026 bid-opening deadline, requesting fresh produce across 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products via IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification applicable under city ordinance and delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted a food and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with a May 4, 2026 deadline (extended via addendum from April 21), covering 382 line items and multiple Texas warehouse locations through August 31, 2027. Awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders; school districts reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors.
