UNSPSC 50391509: Organic cameo apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391509 Organic cameo apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses canned applesauce and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show government buyers purchasing both mainstream canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications and fresh produce apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) through school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state institutional facilities—the Oregon Department of Corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and independent school districts across the Southeast and beyond. A standout repeat buyer is Oregon's Department of Corrections, which has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), with the most recent solicitation requesting approximately 4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem on an FOB destination basis, historically awarded at $21.84 per case. School districts appear frequently as buyers of fresh produce items, including Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), which procure apples among dozens of fresh fruit and vegetable line items.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school district procurements in February through June 2026) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections, February and July 2026), with additional activity in Texas (HHSC and school districts including Dallas ISD and Austin ISD). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, ITB with response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce encompassing multiple apple varieties (over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear in school nutrition procurements; Oregon's ODOC applies 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Insurance requirements across solicitations typically mandate $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability coverage. Firms should note firm-fixed pricing expectations, FOB destination delivery terms, and strict compliance with USDA commodity and FDA standards across all active procurements.
