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

UNSPSC 50391519 Organic duchess apple purees is a Commodity code that classifies canned and processed apple products for institutional food service—applesauce, fruit bars, apple crisps, and related shelf-stable preparations that state and local government cafeterias, correctional facilities, senior centers, and other public institutions procure for meal programs. Recent state and local opportunities under this code and closely related fresh and processed produce items span school districts, state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county senior services, and municipal boards of education. The scope of work includes both individual canned applesauce line-item procurements and broader multiproduct food commodity solicitations where applesauce or apple-based products form one component of larger food-service supply contracts. Issuing bodies solicit under this code regularly for on-site institutional consumption—cafeteria operations, nutrition centers, inmate meal service, and senior meal programs—with quantities typically ranging from hundreds to thousands of cases annually and delivery windows spanning weeks to months.
