UNSPSC 50381937: Greening apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381937 Greening apple purees, a Commodity code, covers canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—including correctional facilities, veterans' homes, schools, senior centers, and health and human services facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for both canned applesauce (the dominant product type) and dried apple crisps or snack items. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County), and regional institutional food service networks. The code sees repeated activity from state correctional and veterans' home procurement offices, which source apple products as part of broader institutional food contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, with standout recent solicitations from Oregon (two ITBs from the Department of Corrections for canned applesauce in May and July 2026), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ food procurement spanning multiple state facilities, IFB and supplemental food contracts with response dates in May and June 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County IWQ in October 2026, Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB in June 2026, and State of Georgia food supplies bid in May 2026), Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders with due dates in June and August 2026), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities bid in June 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (five full truckloads) with a July 31, 2026 response date, historical pricing of $21.84 per case, and a 10% combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, August 24, 2026 proposal due date); and Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (July 16, 2026 response date). Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear in multiple school district and health-services solicitations, and F.O.B. destination delivery with prepaid transportation is standard across state and institutional buyers.
