UNSPSC 50381970: Red boscoop apple purees

The variety of apples known as red boscoop apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381970 Red boscoop apple purees (Commodity) is being solicited by state and local buyers primarily for institutional food service—corrections facilities, state health institutions, and K-12 school nutrition programs—where apple purees and applesauce appear as components within broader fresh and processed fruit procurement bundles rather than as standalone specialty items. State and local governments purchasing under this code are sourcing canned or shelf-stable applesauce as part of their general food supply operations, not red boscoop apples specifically; the code represents a narrowly defined commodity that state procurement offices use to categorize processed apple products within larger food service contracts but does not drive standalone solicitations at scale.

Recent activity shows the code surfaces within corrections and school nutrition procurement, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky per USDA 2011 specifications) with bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing and delivery to Salem. An earlier ODOC solicitation (ITB S2910000016975, posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026) sought 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce with similar USDA compliance requirements and FOB destination pricing. Beyond Oregon, the code does not appear to drive recent standalone state or local opportunities; instead, apple purees are nested within multi-category food supply requests issued by Texas school districts, Georgia school nutrition programs, and other institutional buyers using broad commodity codes that encompass multiple fruit products together. Activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections) and scattered across school district procurement in Texas and Georgia, where applesauce typically competes as a line item within larger RFPs for school nutrition or food service supply rather than as a primary category drawing dedicated solicitations.
