UNSPSC 50381905: Braeburn apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381905 Braeburn apple purees is a Commodity code covering processed apple products—specifically canned or shelf-stable applesauce and apple-based prepared foods—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies sourcing canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, and prepared apple products as components of broader food service procurement bundles. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, and city school systems—a mix reflecting the code's application across correctional institutions, K–12 child nutrition programs, and state-operated residential care facilities. Work is being solicited as part of larger food service supply contracts rather than as standalone apple-puree buys; the code appears alongside broader commodity and grocery solicitations.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITB solicitations for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and awards to vendors including Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner.

School nutrition programs across Georgia and Missouri have posted IFBs and RFPs for fresh and processed fruit items that encompass apple varieties and apple-based products as line items within larger produce or grocery contracts. State institutional food service—particularly corrections and supported living centers—shows consistent demand, with Texas HHSC food procurement (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with $1.5 million historical value; and HHS0016792 variants with up to $4.5 million potential value) spanning multiple commodity categories including processed fruits.
