UNSPSC 50381933: Golden delicious apple purees

The variety of apples known as golden delicious apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381933 Golden delicious apple purees is a Commodity code capturing applesauce and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, particularly child nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and special-purpose educational consortia; recent opportunities show repeated activity from school nutrition programs and state-level agencies managing institutional food supply. The work being solicited is straightforward: sealed-bid procurements for canned applesauce and other processed apple products meeting USDA commodity specifications, delivered in bulk (typically 40,000-pound truckloads) to central distribution points or individual school sites, with pricing quoted per case or unit on firm-fixed FOB destination terms and delivery within 30 to 60 days of order.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a combined 10% Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference available; the same agency posted an earlier ITB for 1,904 cases in May 2026 at $21.827 per case. School districts across Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Texas (Austin ISD) have issued fresh-produce and processed-food solicitations that include apple crisps and related items, though most emphasize fresh produce lines broader than canned applesauce alone. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have posted quarterly and annual food-supply RFPs for state facilities that encompass processed fruit products as line items within larger consumables contracts. Buy American or domestic-content preferences appear in multiple school district solicitations, and delivery typically requires destination freight prepaid on palletized truckloads with minimum one-year shelf life and USDA/FDA compliance. No single vendor dominates recent awards; Robbins Sales won the most recent Oregon ODOC applesauce award (June 2026), and MJ Kellner held a prior award (January 2026). The code shows consistent but moderate volume, driven primarily by school nutrition program renewals and state institutional food-service contracts that cycle annually or biennially.
