UNSPSC 50381987: Tsugaru apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381987 Tsugaru apple purees (Commodity) sees irregular state and local procurement activity concentrated in school nutrition programs and institutional food service, where the code tags opportunities for canned applesauce, fresh produce including apple varieties, and supplemental food items rather than the narrowly specified Tsugaru varietal. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state corrections and health authorities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and special-purpose district cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Recent solicitations show school districts as the dominant buyer type, with state-level institutional food service procurement from corrections and health-and-human-services facilities as secondary activity.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with representative opportunities including the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) specifying USDA 2011 commodity specifications and FOB delivery to Salem at historical pricing of $21.84 per case; the Texas HHSC's Invitation for Bids for supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract terms through August 2028; and multiple school district fresh-produce and grocery contracts from Rockwood R-VI (grocery items and NOI products, April 29, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (over 400 food items, April 29, 2026), and the Douglas County School System cooperative procurement (fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One). Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing, and USDA compliance appear in most school nutrition solicitations; state and local jurisdictions typically require general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million and expect delivery on FOB destination or prepaid freight terms with no fuel surcharges.
