UNSPSC 50381916: Crab apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381916 Crab apple purees, a Commodity code, covers processed apple products and purees that state and local governments source for food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations naming crab apple purees specifically. Instead, the code appears to be tagged alongside broader fresh produce and processed fruit procurements—including fresh apples, dried fruit bars, canned applesauce, and general food service commodities—suggesting the code may capture apple-derived products more broadly than the narrow "crab apple purees" nominal scope implies. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code family include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, independent school districts, county board of commissioners, and municipal boards of education. The most active recent buyers are the Oregon Department of Corrections (posting ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (issuing IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (posting quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (requesting fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year).

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Arizona, with the densest recent posting activity in the Southwest and Southeast. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026, historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026, delivery to three school locations), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's BNB053266 for commodities to the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items including fruit products, bids due June 26, 2026, MBE/CBE certifications applicable).
