UNSPSC 50381977: Reinette apple purees

The variety of apples known as reinette apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381977 Reinette apple purees, a Commodity code, covers canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental processed fruit products in cases of dozens to thousands of units annually. School nutrition programs and state-operated facilities dominate the buying pattern, with corrections departments, health and human services commissions, and school districts representing the core issuing bodies. Applesauce bids specify USDA 2011 commodity compliance, domestic-sourced or processed content preferences where applicable, and products packed in juice, water, or light syrup with shelf-life minimums of one year or longer. Pricing is quoted per-case on firm fixed rates, with delivery on FOB destination or prepaid freight terms and typical historical unit costs in the $20–$25 per-case range for institutional-grade product.

The code shows active recent procurement across the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 due March 6, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026) with order quantities of 1,904 to 4,760 cases, applying 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquarters preferences totaling 10 percent. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services jointly procured supplemental food items including processed fruits under IFB HHS0016792 (due February 23, 2026, extended from February 16) and HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for state-supported living centers statewide, with prior-period spend of $1.5 million on the latter. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia solicited packaged produce and grocery items incorporating apple products within broader food-service RFPs and ITBs in late February through July 2026. No opportunities specifically tagged to the reinette-apple-purees Commodity code itself appear in the block; the listings show the code captures applesauce and processed-apple categories more broadly. Pricing remains firm for contract terms, and state preferences for domestic content and in-state sourcing appear in roughly half the opportunities reviewed.
