UNSPSC 50391520: Organic earligold apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391520 Organic earligold apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed apple products—including applesauce, apple crisps, and fresh-packed apple preparations—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show steady demand from corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies purchasing applesauce by the case for inmate and student meal programs, alongside dried fruit bars and processed apple products for school nutrition. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, independent school districts, county school systems, municipal nutrition centers, and regional buying cooperatives; Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri) and Northeast (Connecticut); school district procurement drives much of the volume across these regions.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) due July 31, 2026, with delivery to Salem and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and the Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service due July 16, 2026, delivered to the district's central warehouse. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) represents a broader procurement capturing applesauce alongside other food items under a $1.5 million historical annual value. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County Schools in Georgia issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All-inclusive FOB Destination pricing with firm fixed rates for the contract period and compliance with Buy American and USDA commodity specifications are standard across recent notices.
