UNSPSC 50381994: Winesap apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50381994 Winesap apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and shelf-stable apple products — applesauce, fruit bars, and apple crisps — that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including corrections facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show applesauce and apple crisps appearing across correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services facilities, often bundled within broader food commodity procurements rather than as standalone line items. The buying base spans state corrections and health departments, county boards of education, school districts, and municipal boards of education, with issuing bodies concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest but present nationwide.

Oregon Department of Corrections has been the most active single buyer on record, issuing two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and S-29100-00016975 in May 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,700 cases delivered to Salem. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide IFB in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables including fruit products across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties under IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for the 2026–27 school year. Austin Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026 under RFP 27RFP004. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an IWQ for shelf-stable food items including canned products in October 2026. The State of Illinois and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) have each issued multiple procurements for food and consumables that may include apple products, though specifics are not detailed in available materials. Preferences and set-asides vary by jurisdiction — Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; Texas school districts enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products; and Connecticut applies MBE/CBE preferences under municipal ordinance.
