UNSPSC 50391503: Organic api apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391503 Organic api apple purees is a Commodity-level code that spans state and local procurement of canned applesauce and apple-based products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal connection to the "organic" and "purees" elements of the code's nominal title. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are the standout repeat buyers in the recent block, with school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, and others) representing the broader issuing-body mix across state departments, county school systems, and independent school districts. The actual buying pattern under this code includes canned applesauce (both sweetened and unsweetened, smooth and chunky) procured in bulk cases for institutional kitchens and cafeterias, along with broader fresh and processed fruit categories bundled into multi-line-item food-service contracts; dried fruit bars and apple crisps also appear tagged to this code despite their distance from applesauce as a product category.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West, with Oregon Department of Corrections posting two separate applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) for 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively at historical pricing near $21.84 per case, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement spanning statewide food supply for multiple facilities. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia are also active, though most embed apple products within larger grocery or produce buys rather than single-commodity applesauce contracts. Geographic spread extends across the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and West (Oregon, California reference points in broader food-service solicitations), with Texas and Georgia school districts posting frequent child nutrition service procurements. The code sees steady but fragmented activity with no dominant geographic concentration; pursuit depends on access to institutional food-service channels and ability to compete in bulk canned-goods procurement with incumbent relationships and firm pricing requirements typical of school nutrition and corrections food service.
