UNSPSC 50381904: Baldwin apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381904 Baldwin apple purees, a Commodity-level code, describes canned and shelf-stable apple products that state and local governments procure for food service operations at correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, state hospitals, and residential care facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing applesauce in bulk cases—both sweetened and unsweetened, smooth or chunky varieties—that meet USDA 2011 commodity specifications and carry minimum one-year shelf life. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health agencies, county school nutrition programs, city boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and county senior services departments. The code sees activity across multiple states and jurisdictions soliciting food supplies for institutional food service, with purchases typically bundled into larger commodity RFPs or IFBs alongside dozens of other food line items rather than as standalone procurements.

Oregon Department of Corrections issued two recent ITBs for canned fruit applesauce—one in May 2026 (S2910000016975, 1,904 cases, due June 2) and another in July 2026 (S2910000017453, 4,760 cases, due July 31)—with historical pricing near $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference applied. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, March 2026) and food items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, June 2026, $1.5 million historical value), both encompassing applesauce among dozens of product lines. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce for 2026–27 including multiple apple varieties alongside other produce items (IFB due June 26, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) both issued broader food commodity RFQs and IFBs in mid-2026 that included shelf-stable produce and fruit products. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, with procurement officers typically requiring FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance, liability insurance, and product-specific shelf-life and quality certifications.
