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, a Class code, covers processed apple products — primarily canned applesauce — procured by state agencies, county facilities, school districts, and corrections departments for food service operations. The code sees activity primarily from state agencies supplying institutional foodservice (correctional facilities, state health and human services centers) and school nutrition programs across multiple states, with applesauce used as a breakfast item, dessert component, or standalone serving in cafeteria and institutional meal planning.

Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in recent months — ITB S-29100-00017453 posted July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, and an earlier ITB S2910000016975 posted May 18, 2026, requesting 1,904 cases with a June 2, 2026, deadline — establishing ODOC as an active repeat buyer under this code. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables including processed fruit products for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0016792, with a $4,500,000 potential value over three years and service to 23 qualified ordering entities across the state. Austin Independent School District sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026, with delivery to its central warehouse. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Oregon's ODOC procurement shows strong repeat demand with firm historical pricing near $21.84 per case and applies Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquarter preferences totaling 10 percent, while Texas state facilities procurements involve larger volumes and longer contract terms with price adjustments tied to cost indices. School districts and state facility operators typically require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery with transportation prepaid, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, and minimum one-year shelf life. No recent opportunities show set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions specific to this commodity code.
