UNSPSC 50381920: Earligold apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381920 Earligold apple purees, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and fresh apple-based products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent activity shows these products embedded within larger food-commodity solicitations issued by corrections departments, school districts, social services agencies, and health and human services commissions. The work involves competitive bidding on firm, fixed pricing for products meeting USDA commodity specifications, delivery to designated warehouse or meal-service locations, and compliance with Buy American provisions, food safety standards, and vendor insurance and reference requirements.

Activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in the past six months—an ITB issued May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026, for approximately 1,904 cases with a historical award price of $21.827 per case, and a second ITB posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases with a prior award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce including apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, 2026. The State of Illinois has posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Austin Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps on July 16, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) have included apple-based or related fruit products within broader food commodity buys. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, with activity clustered among correctional systems, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services operations.
