UNSPSC 50387302 Seedless sugar apple purees (Commodity) covers prepared fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and senior services operations. The code's nominal scope is narrow, but the recent opportunities show actual purchasing in this space encompasses a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh fruit products, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and commodity food items alongside purees. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, municipalities, and state-supported living centers. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers. Most procurement is conducted via IFB or RFQ with firm, fixed unit pricing evaluated on a per-ounce or per-case basis, with delivery typically required within 45 to 72 hours of order and FOB Destination terms standard across the code.
