UNSPSC 50391514: Organic court pendu plat apple purees

The variety of organic apples known as organic court pendu plat apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391514 Organic court pendu plat apple purees is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local solicitation activity specifically matched to this narrow product specification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a broader pattern in state and local food procurement: jurisdictions are actually buying shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh apples, mixed fresh produce, and general food commodities—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, and county education systems. The code's narrow focus on a specific heirloom apple variety and puree format does not align well with the volume and diversity of actual fruit purchases state and local governments are making right now, which span commercial processing standards, multiple fruit types, and ready-to-consume formats. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state procurement), county boards of education (Hancock County, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD), city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state corrections systems (Texas TDCJ).

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (responses due June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026), with historical awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case. The Texas HHSC issued a large supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items including fresh and frozen fruit products (response due March 19, 2026, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years). The Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (quotes due October 19, 2026). The Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (proposals due August 24, 2026, and June 17, 2026). The pattern shows that while apple and fruit products move regularly through state and local food service procurement, the specific "organic court pendu plat apple purees" specification has not appeared in any recent solicitation; vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete in the broader canned and fresh fruit categories where volume and standardized products (USDA commodity-grade applesauce, fresh commercial apple varieties) dominate purchasing.
