UNSPSC 50381929: Ginger gold apple purees

The variety of apples known as ginger gold apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381929 Ginger gold apple purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure apple-based food products for institutional food service, most commonly canned applesauce and processed apple items for school nutrition programs, state correctional and health facilities, and central cafeteria operations. The recent solicitations show substantial divergence from the code's nominal framing: state and local buyers are purchasing canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including apples, and broad food-service commodity baskets rather than products marketed specifically as "ginger gold apple purees." School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple recent bids from independent and county school systems (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), followed by state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal school nutrition operations (Bridgeport Board of Education). The code shows active procurement across the Southeast and Southwest, with concentrated recent activity in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026) requiring approximately 4,760 cases delivered to Salem in five truckloads at a historical price of $21.84 per case, and the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026) for delivery to the district's central warehouse. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) under IFB SN002-2027 (bids due June 26, 2026) with delivery to three school locations and a contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (proposals due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Buy American requirements, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and multi-vendor awards based on lowest responsive bid are standard across all recent solicitations; most require general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and compliance with USDA commodity specifications.
