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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable, canned, and fresh-form apple products for institutional food service — most commonly applesauce, apple crisps, and dried fruit bars for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show mixed product scope: the Oregon Department of Corrections has bid canned applesauce multiple times (ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026), each requesting roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, while Austin Independent School District sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps in an RFP (27RFP004, July 2026). Buyers span state corrections and health agencies, school districts, county boards of education, and county senior services. The issuing bodies mix state procurement offices (Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin, Texas), county departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), city school nutrition programs (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state health and human services divisions.

Geographic concentration runs strongest in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the South (Texas, Georgia), and the Midwest (Illinois), with recent activity also in Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has appeared as a repeat buyer in the past six months, posting applesauce bids in May and July 2026 with historical awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83 to $21.84 per case and delivery schedules of 45 to 60 days. Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce RFP (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) itemized multiple apple varieties including Granny Smith alongside other produce, with the contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and firm pricing required. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with an estimated maximum value of $4.5 million over three years) covered 210 line items including fruit products for statewide state hospitals and state-supported living centers. Buy American provisions and minimum domestic content requirements (51 percent for processed items) appear in school district and state solicitations, and most awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specification and delivery timelines.
