UNSPSC 50381910 Charles Ross Apple Purees, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of canned and processed apple products—applesauce, apple crisps, and related shelf-stable fruit preparations—for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning state corrections departments, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school systems across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service representing the dominant buyer categories. The work being solicited ranges from bulk canned applesauce (4,760 to 1,904 cases per procurement) meeting USDA commodity specifications for institutions like state correctional facilities to smaller dried fruit bars and apple crisps for district-wide K-12 food service distribution. Pricing typically runs on per-unit, per-case, or per-serving bases with firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and most opportunities specify FOB destination with transportation and fuel charges prepaid by contractors. Buy American provisions appear consistently, requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products where applicable.

Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; the scope includes five full truck loads of 952 cases each (40,000 pounds) delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem with first delivery within 60 days and remaining loads 45 days apart, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case. Austin Independent School District solicited RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to its central warehouse, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a quarterly food order solicitation (due June 17, 2026) with brand-specific requirements. The code shows consistent activity across institutional and school settings with moderate geographic spread; recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Connecticut representing active procurement jurisdictions in the past six months. Contract values range from estimated historical prices around $41,500 for smaller state corrections buys to multi-million-dollar annualized school nutrition procurement frameworks, indicating variable deal sizes and recurring annual or multi-year renewal potential for qualified suppliers.
