UNSPSC 50381990: Vistabella apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381990 Vistabella apple purees is a Commodity code describing canned and processed apple products—specifically applesauce, apple crisps, and similar shelf-stable apple preparations—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show state corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies sourcing these products as components of broader food-service contracts or as standalone line items within child nutrition and institutional meal programs.

The issuing bodies reflect the institutional food-service landscape: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases all solicited apple-based products in recent months. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with school districts and state institutional agencies representing the primary buyer base. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) soliciting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in smooth or chunky varieties packed in juice, water, or light syrup, at a historical price of $21.84 per case with deliveries to Salem; and Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) seeking dried fruit bars and apple crisps for direct warehouse delivery. Texas institutional procurements dominate the recent block, including the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and HHSC statewide supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026 with maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years). Buy American provisions and preference programs appear consistently across school district and state institutional solicitations; Oregon applies 5 percent preferences for in-state processing and headquarters location. No recent opportunities are identified for pure Vistabella apple purees by brand—the code captures applesauce and processed-apple products more broadly as components of food-service line items rather than as standalone branded commodities.
