UNSPSC 50381934: Golden noble apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381934 Golden noble apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including applesauce, apple crisps, and dried fruit bars supplied to corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services institutions, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show state departments, county school districts, and municipal agencies purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce that includes apples as components of broader food service contracts, with the code capturing a narrow but active segment of the larger institutional food procurement market.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, with bids due July 31, 2026 and a historical award price of $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products including apple-based items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center and subordinate DSHS facilities, with a prior contract value of $1.5 million. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T26300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products including canned and fresh fruits for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across five geographic distribution areas. Activity concentrates in Texas and Oregon, with secondary opportunities in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. School districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and institutional food service operations drive solicitation volume, with apple purees and derivative products typically bid as line items within broader commodity food contracts rather than standalone procurements.
