UNSPSC 50381955: Mcintosh apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381955 Mcintosh apple purees (Commodity) is narrowly applied in state and local procurement; recent opportunities show that governments classify broader apple-based food products — particularly canned applesauce and fresh produce containing apples — under this code despite the specific "Mcintosh apple purees" descriptor. State and local procurement offices, school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies procure canned applesauce, dried apple products, fresh apples, and apple-inclusive produce bundles through ITBs, RFPs, and IFBs. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Dallas Independent School District in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), and municipal education systems (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). School districts appear most frequently, reflecting child nutrition program demand; the Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative serves 30 districts across Georgia.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted two applesauce ITBs (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), each requesting multiple truckloads of canned applesauce with firm pricing required and Oregon-vendor preferences of up to 10 percent combined; the June solicitation references a historical award to MJ Kellner at $21.827 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two broad food-and-consumables IFBs (HHS0016792 and HHS0016792V2) covering 210 line items including supplemental foods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Georgia school districts dominate the produce-inclusive procurements: Hancock County (72 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026), Muscogee County (60 produce items under ITB 26-017, due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County (72 fresh produce items under Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Douglas County through GEC (approximately 72 produce line items with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across 30 districts, RFP due March 4, 2026), and Liberty County (over 400 food items including fresh and frozen fruits, IFB due April 29, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia issued a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring bids on 76 minimum grocery items with weekly deliveries to 45 schools. All school district procurements apply Buy American Act requirements mandating domestic content (51 percent for processed products) and firm pricing for contract duration; most allow midterm adjustments only upon documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater.
