UNSPSC 50381930: Gladstone apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381930 Gladstone apple purees (Commodity) represents canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show the code capturing bids for canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, fresh produce including apple varieties, and specialty processed apple items delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary procurement activity from state corrections departments, state health agencies, and school nutrition cooperatives. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple independent school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Missouri appear as repeat buyers in the recent record. Geographic activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), South-Central (Texas, Missouri), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with particular concentration in Texas school districts and Georgia county school systems.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a bid-due date of July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical award price was $21.84 per case. Separately, Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 with proposals due July 16, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools issued separate grocery and produce solicitations in March and April 2026 with firm-fixed-price contracts for 2026–27 school years. Douglas County School System in Georgia, through the GEC Buying Cooperative, sought fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined, with proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American provisions and USDA commodity compliance appear standard across school-nutrition solicitations; most contracts run July-through-June school-year cycles with firm pricing and allowance for manufacturer-driven midterm adjustments in limited circumstances.
