UNSPSC 50336800: Dried organic sugar apple

The type of organic fruit known as organic sugar apple that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50336800 Dried organic sugar apple is a Class code that encompasses fresh and processed produce items purchased by state and local governments for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. State and local solicitations under this code reflect a much broader scope than the nominal commodity name suggests; recent opportunities show school districts, state departments, county systems, and correctional facilities buying dried fruits, nuts, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery assortments for meal service rather than dried sugar apples specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia) alongside state procurement offices (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office in California), and municipal school boards (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with most contracts running on an annual cycle aligned to the academic year (July 1 through June 30).

Recent opportunities span multiple states with visible concentration in Georgia, Texas, California, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 due date, requiring over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations under a firm-fixed-price structure; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) soliciting commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submission by June 26, 2026; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (Texas) issuing IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and staple foods to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with response due May 4, 2026 following an extended deadline via Addendum No. 2; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323) covering direct delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens and a warehouse facility, with sealed bids due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requesting bids on over 900 line items of grocery products for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS by April 29, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) for the Elmwood Correctional Facility on a five-year contract with bids due February 5, 2026. All solicitations mandate Buy American compliance, USDA grade or nutrition standards, firm-fixed pricing for the contract term, and delivery to multiple locations on tight weekly schedules; most require three to five years of relevant supplier experience, commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million, and federal compliance certifications including debarment and E-Verify authorization.
