UNSPSC 50331595: Dried organic worcester apples

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

UNSPSC 50331595 Dried organic worcester apples, a Commodity code, does not map to meaningful state and local procurement activity in the available opportunities. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit commodity, yet recent school nutrition and institutional food solicitations tagged with this code pursue broad fresh produce contracts spanning 72 to 400+ line items including apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, grains, and dairy products—work that falls outside the narrow scope of dried organic worcester apples and belongs in higher-tier produce and food supply categories. The single dried-fruit-specific opportunity in the dataset—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to support county corrections food services—calls for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans with no reference to worcester apples, dried or fresh. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or minimal purchasing activity under this specific code line.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (IFB due April 29, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia (Bid due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP due March 4, 2026 and February 18, 2026) all pursuing food service contracts. Non-school entities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products IFB due May 4, 2026), Santa Clara County Correction Food Services (dried fruits ITB due February 5, 2026), Bridgeport Board of Education via the City of Bridgeport Connecticut (commodities due June 26, 2026), and the State of Georgia (food supplies IFB due June 22, 2026). Recent activity clusters in Georgia and extends across Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and California, with Georgia school districts representing the heaviest concentration of recent solicitation volume.
