UNSPSC 50391519: Organic duchess apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391519 Organic duchess apple purees (Commodity) represents a narrow apple-processing category that state and local governments rarely procure directly; recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct purchases of organic duchess apple purees and instead reflects broader school district, correctional, and institutional food service demand for canned applesauce, fresh produce, and processed apple products as components of larger multi-item food supply contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent canned applesauce ITBs (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026), but neither specified organic status or duchess variety, instead calling for USDA 2011 commodity-grade canned fruit applesauce in various styles, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, at historical pricing near $21.84 per case. School districts across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia have solicited fresh produce contracts and specialty food items that may include apple products—such as the Hancock County Schools produce IFB for multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) and the Savannah-Chatham County fresh produce bid listing Fuji apples as a high-volume item—but these are generic commodity apple purchases without organic or variety-specific requirements and rarely include processed purees as line items.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Upper Midwest (Missouri), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school districts dominating the issuing body mix alongside a handful of state corrections and health and human services agencies. The representative recent opportunities reflect generic food service procurement: the Oregon DOC applesauce ITBs (response dates June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFPs for fresh produce and eggs and main-line food distribution (due February 18 and March 4, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026). None of these opportunities are tagged specifically to organic apple purees or duchess variety products, suggesting the code itself carries limited direct relevance to active state and local procurement right now; vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should expect to compete for applesauce and apple product components within larger institutional food supply bids where ingredient specifications and organic certification are decided by district or agency food service directors rather than standing commodity codes.
