UNSPSC 50391501: Organic akane apple purees

The variety of organic apples known as organic akane apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391501 Organic akane apple purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable apple-based products procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying applesauce (canned and fresh), dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh apples as part of broader food and commodity procurement — not exclusively organic akane varieties. The actual purchasing activity spans state corrections departments, school districts, county boards of education, health and human services agencies, and municipal nutrition centers. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut, and the State of Georgia. These agencies typically procure apple products as line items within larger food-commodity bundles rather than as standalone solicitations; when apple-specific RFQs or ITBs do appear, they are embedded in multi-category food-service requests.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historically; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia seeking fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year via IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections also posted a second applesauce ITB (S2910000016975) in May 2026 for 1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026, at a historical price of $21.827 per case. Most solicitations specify FOB Destination with prepaid delivery, compliance with USDA standards, minimum shelf life, and awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or for best value. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content appear in school district and municipal nutrition center buys. Oregon and Texas state agencies apply small-business and resident-vendor preferences of 5 to 10 percent where applicable.
