UNSPSC 50391518: Organic delicious apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391518 Organic delicious apple purees is a Commodity code capturing canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — including correctional facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and other public entities. Recent solicitations show active demand for canned applesauce, apple crisps, and dried apple products across multiple jurisdictions. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, and Rockwood R-VI School District have all posted opportunities under or closely aligned with this code in the past two months. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health agencies, independent school districts, and county school systems — a mix typical of institutional food service procurement. School districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting consistent demand for shelf-stable fruit products in child nutrition programs.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut, based on the most recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, ITB closing July 31, 2026, with a 5% combined preference for Oregon goods and vendors), the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP closing July 16, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (IFB closing June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions and USDA compliance are standard across school district and state agency procurement. Pricing is typically quoted per case or unit on a firm-fixed basis FOB destination with all transportation prepaid, and historical reference prices suggest canned applesauce ranges near $21.84 per case. Insurance requirements commonly run $1 million to $2 million in commercial general liability depending on the issuing body. The code shows steady, recurring activity — school nutrition programs renew food supply contracts annually, and state agencies cycle through multi-year procurement terms — making it a persistent opportunity for suppliers of shelf-stable fruit products meeting USDA standards and domestic-content preferences.
