UNSPSC 50381967: Pomme d'api apple purees

The variety of apples known as pomme d'api apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381967 Pomme d'api apple purees (Commodity) encompasses canned applesauce and related apple-based prepared foods that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county social services programs. Recent solicitations show applesauce purchased in bulk cases (typically 1,900–4,760 cases per order) for centralized distribution, with specifications commonly referencing USDA 2011 commodity standards for canned fruit, packaged in juice, water, or light syrup, with smoothed or chunky textures accepted. School districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs represent the primary issuing bodies; the State of Illinois issues recurring quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, and the Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for applesauce with June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026, response dates, requesting approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively and applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the historical award price was $21.827–$21.84 per case to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted two brand-specific and one brand-or-equal solicitation for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with August 24, 2026, and June 17, 2026, due dates. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties alongside other items under IFB #SN002-2027 with June 26, 2026, bid opening; this opportunity does not appear to target apple purees specifically and may reflect a code-assignment mismatch. Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice) issued broad food and consumables solicitations that encompassed fruits and vegetables but did not isolate applesauce as a distinct line item in available source materials.
