UNSPSC 50381909: Cameo apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381909 Cameo apple purees (Commodity) is represented narrowly in recent state and local procurement activity, with solicited opportunities focused on canned applesauce products rather than the specific "Cameo apple purees" naming convention in the code itself. State and local food service operations—including departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and state-supported living centers—purchase pre-processed, shelf-stable apple products that meet USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards for use in institutional meal programs. The work being solicited is straightforward commodity supply: vendors bid to deliver canned applesauce in specified case quantities, packed in their own juice, water, or light syrup, with minimum one-year shelf life, meeting smooth-or-chunky and sweetened-or-unsweetened specifications. Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026; bids due July 31, 2026) requested 4,760 cases of canned applesauce on an FOB Destination, all-inclusive basis with delivery in five truckloads to its Central Distribution Center in Salem—a representative institutional use case typical of the code's recent activity. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections agencies, school districts, and state health and human services commissions operating centralized food service warehouses; no repeat buyers appear multiple times in the recent opportunities block.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest and South, with Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, state health services) dominating the posted opportunities. Pricing follows a historical reference pattern: Oregon DOC's prior applesauce award to Robbins Sales in June 2026 set $21.84 per case; a prior ODOC ITB from May 2026 (S2910000016975) referenced $21.827 per case awarded to MJ Kellner. State and local agencies apply Oregon resident and domestic-processing preferences (5 percent each, stackable) and Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content in processed products minimum). The narrow recent activity in this specific commodity code—with only two ODOC applesauce solicitations explicitly matching the scope—suggests lower current demand relative to broader fresh-produce and grocery procurement volumes, which dominate institutional food service contracting. No response-date changes, addenda, or industry events have been posted for this code line.
