UNSPSC 50391505: Organic braeburn apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391505 Organic braeburn apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable processed fruit products and fresh produce items that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service — including school nutrition programs, state facilities, county senior services, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show that while the code nominally specifies organic braeburn apple purees, actual state and local procurement under this code spans a much broader range of fruit products: canned applesauce (both sweetened and unsweetened, smooth and chunky), dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh apples of multiple varieties alongside complementary fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and shelf-stable staples. The issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Repeat buyers include the State of Illinois (issuing multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Veterans Home) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (issuing sequential applesauce bids in May and July 2026).

Activity concentrates in the South and West, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases per solicitation, bids due June 2 and July 31, 2026 with 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (including multiple apple varieties and berries) for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions (requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products) appear consistently across school district and state facility procurements. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value; delivery terms are typically FOB Destination with prepaid freight, and contract terms often run one year with optional renewals.
