UNSPSC 50331594: Dried organic winesap apples

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

UNSPSC 50331594 Dried organic winesap apples is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under it primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food-service operations that purchase fresh and processed produce in bulk to meet student meal requirements and Buy American compliance obligations under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The code captures both fresh whole-fruit procurement and dried or processed apple products as line items within larger fresh-produce and commodity-food solicitations. Issuing bodies are almost exclusively school districts and state departments that manage centralized nutrition operations; the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut represent the pattern. State prison and institutional food services (the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) also appear in the broader commodity-food space, though specific dried-apple line-item activity is not prominent in recent postings.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with documented recent solicitations from Hancock County, Georgia; the State of Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut; and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB #SN002-2027, posted June 10, 2026 with bids due June 26, 2026, itemizes multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) alongside over 200 fresh-produce line items for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with domestic-content requirements and firm pricing for the full contract term. The City of Bridgeport's commodities IFB (solicitation BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) covers 115 line items for the Nutrition Center including fruit and vegetable products, also requiring 51 percent domestic content and compliance with MBE/CBE preferences. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for dried prunes (bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026) illustrates institutional demand for processed dried fruit at scale. No recent opportunities explicitly reference dried organic winesap apples as a standalone item; the code shows activity in the broader fresh and dried fruit categories within school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement, but narrow specialization in organic or varietal-specific dried-apple offerings has not appeared in current solicitations.
