UNSPSC 50381928: Gilliflower apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381928 Gilliflower apple purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and processed apple products for institutional food service, primarily in correctional facilities, state health systems, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in applesauce and apple-based food products rather than the code's nominal gilliflower specification; the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are repeat buyers of canned applesauce meeting USDA commodity standards. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health agencies, school districts, and special districts operating institutional food services. The procurement pattern emphasizes USDA-compliant canned fruit packed in juice or light syrup, with firm fixed pricing quoted per case or unit and strict delivery timelines to central distribution or warehouse points. Insurance requirements typically run $1 million to $2 million general liability, and contracting offices impose prevailing wage compliance, certificate of liability documentation, and federal regulatory certifications where applicable.

Oregon and Texas dominate recent activity under this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs—S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases at the previously awarded rate of $21.84 per case, and an earlier ITB S2910000016975 (posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for 1,904 cases—each applying a combined 10 percent Oregon goods and resident bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) spanning food and consumable products including fruit items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical spend of $1.5 million and contract renewal through August 2028. An earlier Texas HHS procurement, IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, extended to February 23, 2026 closing), sought supplemental food and consumables including canned goods and fruit products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Geographic concentration in Oregon and Texas reflects institutional food-service demand at correctional and health facilities; the code shows limited recent activity outside these jurisdictions and school district fresh-produce procurements where the actual goods (fresh apples, dried fruit bars) diverge from canned-applesauce specification.
