UNSPSC 50381954: Macoun apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381954 Macoun apple purees (Commodity) covers canned applesauce and dried fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services programs, and veterans' homes.

The code sees activity from state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education and county government (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized state facilities. Issuing bodies typically procure under ITB, IFB, or RFP notice types with multi-case or multi-pallet quantities and firm fixed pricing evaluated on a per-unit basis; delivery is commonly FOB Destination with inside delivery to central distribution centers or nutrition facilities.
