UNSPSC 50391515: Organic cox's orange pippin apple purees

The variety of organic apples known as organic cox's orange pippin apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391515 Organic cox's orange pippin apple purees, a Commodity code, covers processed fruit products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and community services — though recent solicitations under this code span a much broader range of food commodities than the narrow product name suggests. State and local buyers solicit apple purees, applesauce, dried fruit products, and fresh produce alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies under single omnibus food-procurement vehicles. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), state-agency health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized institutional buyers (state correctional facilities, state supported living centers, veterans homes). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission each appear multiple times in recent activity, indicating sustained procurement cycles for institutional food supply.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and Southwest — Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas dominate the recent opportunities block, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case (bid closing July 31, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million (proposals due July 11, 2026). The Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026) show food-service procurement across school nutrition programs. Buy American provisions and domestic agricultural content requirements are standard in school and state-facility procurements; Oregon and Texas apply state-preference scoring for in-state fabrication and residency. Most contracts run one to two years with optional renewals; delivery is typically FOB destination with advance-appointment logistics and USDA compliance mandates.
