UNSPSC 50381950: Lady apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381950 Lady apple purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within processed fruit categories that state and local governments buy primarily for food service operations at correctional facilities, schools, and health and human services institutions. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies sourcing canned applesauce (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, and chunky varieties) that comply with USDA 2011 commodity specifications and FDA/USDA standards. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered in five full truck loads to its Central Distribution Center in Salem at a historical price of $21.84 per case, with bids due July 31, 2026, and the code also appears tagged to broader food service procurement activities at school districts and state health agencies, though many of those solicitations address mixed-commodity food baskets rather than applesauce-specific opportunities.

Activity under this code concentrates heavily in school districts and state institutional food service programs, with issuing bodies including state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and independent school districts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce ITBs in recent months (most recently July 2026 and May 2026), signaling repeat purchasing on a seasonal or regular replenishment cycle. Beyond Oregon DOC's specific sourcing, the code sees tagging across broader school nutrition RFPs and state institutional food service IFBs at Texas HHSC, Dallas ISD, and other districts, though these larger procurements typically bundle applesauce within hundreds of line items rather than isolate it as a standalone purchase category. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon DOC) and Texas (state health and human services), with secondary activity in school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut where applesauce may be one line item among dozens. Suppliers targeting this code should expect relatively modest unit volumes—Oregon DOC's recent solicitations range from roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases per award—with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination terms, delivery windows of 45 to 60 days, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and shelf-life requirements as baseline qualification factors.
