UNSPSC 50381956: Mutsu apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381956 Mutsu apple purees, a Commodity code, nominally describes a specific apple variety product but shows limited direct matching in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit shelf-stable canned and processed fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader fresh and frozen produce lines—rather than Mutsu apple purees specifically. State and local buying under the broader fruit and food-commodity space includes counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), and correctional and veterans' facilities. The mix reflects food service procurement for institutional nutrition, senior services, and correctional populations across multiple issuing-body types.

Geographic activity spans Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and scattered state-level procurements. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce due June 2, 2026, with a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with estimated historical value of $1.5 million; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food-order solicitations (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, due August 24, 2026. The code shows activity in canned and processed fruit procurement but limited evidence of Mutsu apple puree demand specifically; sourcing decisions should account for the mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual institutional fruit-product purchasing patterns.
