UNSPSC 50391510: Organic charles ross apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391510 Organic charles ross apple purees (Commodity) represents canned and processed apple products—primarily applesauce in various forms—procured by state departments, school districts, and state health agencies for food service operations. State and local buyers under this code source canned applesauce meeting USDA commodity specifications, frozen or canned apple products, and dried apple items for institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: state correctional departments, state health and human services commissions managing state-supported living centers and hospitals, school districts from individual districts to large systems, and county boards of education. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Florida appear repeatedly across recent solicitations, signaling sustained demand from corrections, long-term care, and K-12 nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs—S2910000016975 (due June 2, 2026, 1,904 cases at approximately $21.83 per case) and S2910000017453 (due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases)—both with 5% Oregon-goods and 5% Oregon-vendor preferences totaling 10%. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026), and multiple Georgia school systems—Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham—issued fresh-produce bids in February through June 2026 with apple varieties specified among 60+ produce line items. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables including apple products statewide under IFB HHS0016792 (due February 23, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and follow-up IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026, prior period historical value $1.5 million). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and state of Illinois also posted food-commodity solicitations covering apple and fruit products. Demand patterns favor delivered FOB-destination pricing, firm fixed costs for full contract periods, Buy American compliance, and USDA grade/specification adherence; ODOC's two-year history of awarding applesauce to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales suggests incumbent vendor displacement remains possible on price and delivery performance.
