UNSPSC 50381991: Wealthy apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381991 Wealthy apple purees (Commodity) represents canned and processed apple products—applesauce, apple crisps, dried apple bars, and related fruit preparations—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional and health-services facilities. Recent solicitations show state corrections departments, school districts, and state health and human services agencies buying canned applesauce by the truckload, dried fruit bars for school breakfast and lunch programs, and fresh or processed apple products as components of broader food-supply contracts. The issuing bodies span correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), state food-service agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia), and school nutrition consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative). Oregon and Texas appear frequently as repeat buyers; Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states show sporadic activity. The code attracts both commodity-focused and mixed-product bidding—some opportunities (Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce ITBs) target a single item, while others (school district master grocery and food-supply RFPs) embed apple products within 200+ line-item catalogs.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened, delivered in five truckloads to Salem at $21.84 per case historical pricing, with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-business-headquarters preference; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including apple and fruit items, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million for the El Paso State Supported Living Center. School-district fresh-produce and food-supply contracts frequently specify apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp) as line items within broader grocery and nutrition procurement. Most opportunities enforce firm fixed pricing, Buy American provisions for processed products, USDA compliance, and FOB-destination delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. Response dates cluster in the April–July window for school-year planning (July 1 through June 30 contracts), with shorter turnarounds for correctional and state-facility food procurement.
