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, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of apple-based food products for institutional food service—primarily canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, and fresh apples delivered to correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both branded and commodity-grade apple products supplied under food-service contracts; Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice procure canned applesauce regularly, while school districts and county nutrition programs source fresh apples, dried fruit bars, and applesauce as line items within broader food commodity awards. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, independent school districts, county senior services, and municipal boards of education. The work spans standing weekly or quarterly food orders under open contracts and annual competitive bids for shelf-stable and fresh produce.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (S2910000016975, due June 2, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.80 per case on FOB Destination terms with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences (5% each). Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including fruit products (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering multiple state facilities with a reported historical value of $1.5 million annually. Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia, and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, each sought food commodities inclusive of apple products through informal quote and IFB channels. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted recurring quarterly food orders (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) with proposals due June and August 2026. Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic content and compliance with USDA commodity standards appear standard across school and state institutional procurement.
