UNSPSC 50381935: Granny smith apple purees

The variety of apples known as granny smith apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381935 Granny smith apple purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement—specifically processed apple products in canned or puree form for institutional meal service. State and local governments buy this commodity primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities that operate institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show demand for both canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) and dried fruit bars or apple crisps, all meeting USDA commodity specifications and packed in juice, water, or light syrup with minimum one-year shelf life.

Issuing bodies include independent school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services commissions operating food service for incarcerated populations, students, and residents of state-supported living centers. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer in the recent record, soliciting canned applesauce under ITBs posted in February and July 2026. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts and state agencies in these states posting multiple food procurement opportunities across 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026; bids due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026; due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including apple products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026; due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service. Oregon and Texas apply local-vendor or in-state processing preferences in their apple product procurements, and all solicitations require compliance with USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA standards, and varying state Buy American provisions.
