UNSPSC 50381909: Cameo apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381909 Cameo apple purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable and fresh apple products for institutional food service, ranging from canned applesauce meeting USDA commodity specifications to dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show purchasers treating apple products as line items within larger food and consumables buys rather than as standalone procurements; applesauce appears most commonly in corrections and state-facility food service contexts, while dried apple products surface in school district nutrition purchasing. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, independent school districts, and county social services agencies. The mix skews toward institutional foodservice operations—prisons, state-supported living centers, senior services, and school nutrition programs—rather than retail or commercial food distribution.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (estimated 4,760 cases total across two solicitations in May and July 2026, ITBs S2910000016975 and S2910000017453, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case), responding to ongoing inventory needs at its Central Distribution Center. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal terms (multiple postings June through August 2026). Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026, and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year in June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has run larger consolidated food and consumables buys covering multiple product lines, with applesauce and related products as line items (IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026, with prior historical value of $1.5 million). The code shows consistent but fragmented activity across multiple states and issuing bodies with no single dominant buyer.
