UNSPSC 50381961 Pacific rose apple purees is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and processed apple products—applesauce, fruit purees, and related prepared apple items—purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service. State and local buyers under this code span school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and independent public institutions serving meals to detained, incarcerated, or residential populations. The work solicited is the supply and delivery of shelf-stable canned or jarred apple products meeting USDA commodity specifications, compliant with FDA and USDA standards, and delivered on firm, fixed-price per-unit or per-case FOB destination terms. Typical specifications require products packed in their own juice, water, or light syrup; minimum one-year shelf life from the Best Use By date; acceptable sweetened or unsweetened varieties in smooth or chunky styles; and palletized delivery in truckload quantities to central distribution centers or warehouse facilities. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, school districts, and state health and human services commissions procuring food for institutional populations.
