UNSPSC 50391513: Organic costard apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391513 Organic costard apple purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments rarely procure directly; the recent opportunities block shows minimal actual purchasing of organic costard apple purees specifically, and instead documents broad food service procurement across school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities that includes canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed grocery items where apple products appear as one line item among hundreds. The actual buying pattern under this code is episodic and embedded in larger food service contracts rather than standalone specialty-fruit procurement, with no dedicated solicitations for organic costard apple purees in the materials provided.

Activity is concentrated among school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia, Connecticut). Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs dominating the volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide including canned and fresh fruits (maximum potential contract value $4.5 million over three years), and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with multiple apple varieties included (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). None of these solicitations target organic costard apple purees as a named commodity; all treat apple products as one ingredient or line item in comprehensive food service supply contracts where vendors bid on total cost per case or per unit across mixed categories.
