UNSPSC 50381993: White transparent apple purees

The variety of apples known as white transparent apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381993 White transparent apple purees is a Commodity code that classifies processed apple products — specifically applesauce and fruit purees — purchased by state and local government food service operations for institutional meals, senior programs, and school nutrition. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and applesauce-adjacent fresh produce under this code family, though the nominal "white transparent" designation is narrower than the actual procurement mix. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state-supported living centers. The breadth of issuing bodies reflects the code's applicability across corrections, public health, senior services, and K–12 food service contracting.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITB solicitations for canned fruit applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-16975 due June 2, 2026), each requesting roughly 1,900–4,760 cases, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and Oregon preference programs applying. The State of Illinois has issued multiple RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026). Georgia jurisdictions—Gwinnett County and Hancock County Board of Education—have posted IFB and RFQ notices for shelf-stable and fresh produce (due October 19 and June 26, 2026 respectively). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Comptroller's office (on behalf of TDCJ) have issued large-scope IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide, including applesauce-adjacent items, due in May–June 2026. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested commodity bids including fruit products (due June 26, 2026). Delivery terms are typically FOB Destination, firm-fixed pricing for the contract term, and Buy American compliance is standard where school nutrition programs are involved. No federal set-asides dominate the code; state and local preferences (Oregon residency and fabrication; Georgia Buy American; Texas prevailing-wage and insurance requirements) vary by issuer.
