UNSPSC 50381911: Codlin apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381911 Codlin apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable apple products — both purees and processed apple items such as applesauce and dried apple crisps — that state and local governments procure for food service operations, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. The work being solicited spans canned applesauce in multiple forms (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky), dried fruit bars with apple content, and fresh-produce apple varieties integrated into broader food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, state veterans' homes, county boards of education, independent school districts, and county/city purchasing offices managing food service for public institutions. State departments — particularly Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois — appear as repeat buyers of canned applesauce on quarterly or annual cycles.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (solicitations S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases with delivery to Salem; both applied a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders, with historical pricing near $21.84 per case.
