UNSPSC 50381901: Akane apple purees

The variety of apples known as akane apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381901 Akane apple purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying fresh and processed apple products—both whole fresh apples and apple-based processed goods including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state departments of corrections, school districts, county boards of education, health and human services agencies, and municipal boards of education as the primary issuing bodies. The work spans bulk procurement of shelf-stable canned applesauce for correctional facilities, fresh apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and others) for school nutrition programs, and value-added apple products (dried fruit bars and crisps) for cafeteria operations. Typical scopes call for delivery on FOB Destination terms with firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA commodity or grade standards, and delivery windows measured in days to weeks. Buy American provisions and domestic content requirements appear frequently in school district and state health service solicitations.
