UNSPSC 50381900: Apple purees

The type of fleshy usually rounded and red, yellow, or green edible pome fruit of a tree (genus malus) of the rose family which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381900 Apple purees is a Class code that encompasses processed apple products in ready-to-serve forms, grounded in recent state and local solicitations that span fresh produce procurement, shelf-stable food inventories for institutional kitchens, and food-service supply contracts. Recent opportunities across the code show school districts, state departments, county boards of education, and corrections agencies purchasing canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, fresh apples, and supplemental food products that include apple-based items as line items within broader food-service categories. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), state departments (Illinois Chief Procurement Office for veterans homes), county school boards and independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). The mix reflects institutional food service across corrections, state-operated facilities, K–12 education, and senior services.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026 with bids due June 2, and 4,760 cases in July 2026 with bids due July 31), establishing applesauce as a recurring commodity under the code. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) as part of a broader fresh-produce IFB with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, for school-year 2026–27 delivery to three school locations. Texas HHSC issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items including fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables with a response deadline of March 19, 2026, and a contract value ceiling of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with quotes due October 19, 2026 under F.O.B. Destination terms. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office repeatedly solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases with response deadlines in June and August 2026.
