UNSPSC 50381905: Braeburn apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381905 Braeburn apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and institutional cafeterias. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing a broader scope than the nominal "Braeburn" designation alone—jurisdictions are purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh apples, and apple-based products under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners, city school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional food service programs. A mix of IFB, RFP, and informal quote (IWQ) notices appears, reflecting both formal competitive procurement and shorter-cycle replenishment buying.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce—solicitation S2910000017453 (due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case) and S2910000016975 (due June 2, 2026, 1,904 cases at $21.827 per case)—both requiring USDA 2011 commodity compliance and delivery to Salem. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables including fresh and processed fruit products to state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (bid due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple solicitations in June and August 2026). State and local food service procurement under this code remains active, with institutional volume drivers and firm or near-firm pricing common across opportunities.
