UNSPSC 50381906: Bramley apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381906 Bramley apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed apple products—primarily applesauce in various formulations—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations including corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned applesauce meeting USDA commodity specifications, packed in juice or light syrup, alongside broader fresh produce and grocery procurement cycles that occasionally reference apple-based items. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections departments, county school districts and county boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and city school systems. Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, having posted two separate canned applesauce ITBs within a four-month window.

Activity under the code concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; the same agency posted an earlier ITB S2910000016975 (due June 2, 2026) for 1,904 cases at $21.827 per case. Both solicitations specify USDA 2011 commodity standards, smooth or chunky texture options, sweetened or unsweetened varieties, one-year minimum shelf life, and FOB destination delivery to Salem, Oregon. The code shows limited recent activity outside corrections procurement; school districts and state health agencies procuring food service items reference the code inconsistently or include applesauce within broader commodity aggregations rather than as standalone line items. Oregon's consistent single-agency activity and the narrow commodity scope suggest this code warrants monitoring for seasonal or recurring corrections-specific demand rather than broad-based adoption across school nutrition or state health procurement cycles.
