UNSPSC 50381968 Prime gold apple purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and related processed apple products under this code to supply correctional facilities, schools, state health and human services institutions, and food service operations. Recent solicitations show purchases of canned fruit applesauce packed in juice or light syrup, dried fruit snacks for school nutrition programs, and supplemental food products for state-operated facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Douglas County Schools), and the State of Illinois are active buyers. Work is solicited through ITB, IFB, and RFP notices, with response deadlines typically 30 to 60 days from posting. Institutional buyers—state agencies managing correctional and health facilities, and large school districts—dominate the market, driven by meal-service requirements and commodity procurement cycles tied to fiscal and school years.
