UNSPSC 50337029: Dried organic rose apples

The type of organic fruit known as organic rose apples that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50337029 Dried organic rose apples (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span broad food supply and fresh produce procurement for schools, correctional facilities, and state agencies — spanning fresh apples, berries, vegetables, proteins, grains, eggs, and miscellaneous dried fruits and nuts. The mismatch reflects a classification artifact rather than meaningful market activity under the narrow commodity scope.

Recent solicitations show strong school nutrition demand across multiple states and issuing bodies: Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posted IFBs and RFPs for annual fresh produce and grocery contracts between January and June 2026, with response dates clustering in late April through June. The Savannah-Chatham County procurement (IFB BID2634, due April 23, 2026) covers 72 fresh produce items with annual volumes reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples alone. Bridgeport, Connecticut and the State of Georgia also solicited commodity food products in June 2026. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued separate bids for cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) and whole dried prunes (Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026), while Santa Clara County, California, sought dried fruits and nuts for its correctional facility (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026). All active school nutrition contracts span July 2026 through June 2027, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content on processed items and firm pricing for the full contract term.
