UNSPSC 50381973: Red gravenstein apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381973 Red gravenstein apple purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and processed apple products for institutional food service, primarily serving correctional facilities, state healthcare centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show purchases of canned applesauce in bulk quantities (typically measured in cases or truckloads), with products meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, compliance with FDA and USDA standards, and delivery on FOB destination terms. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are the most frequent recent buyers under this code, with school districts and state-supported living centers also active; these are primarily state agencies and state-level institutional food service operations rather than individual municipalities or counties.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with the most recent solicitations originating from Oregon, Texas, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued back-to-back ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026 (ITB S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing around $21.80–$21.84 per case and Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences of 5 percent each totaling up to 10 percent. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving statewide facilities with 210-line-item scopes spanning bread, proteins, frozen foods, and specialty items (HHS0016792 due February 23, 2026, and HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026), with historical annual values estimated at $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia posted broader grocery and food-supply RFPs and IFBs covering multiple product categories that include but are not limited to applesauce and apple products, suggesting apple purees represent a line item within larger institutional food procurement rather than standalone solicitations in most jurisdictions outside Oregon and Texas state corrections and healthcare systems.
