UNSPSC 50391522: Organic elstar apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391522 Organic elstar apple purees is a Commodity code that spans state and local procurement of canned and processed apple products for institutional food service, particularly in correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services operations. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies soliciting applesauce, apple crisps, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce containing apples rather than a specific focus on organic Elstar varietal purees; the code captures broader canned fruit and processed apple categories actually being purchased. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Dallas ISD, and Fairfax County), and state agencies (Illinois, Georgia) are the primary issuing bodies. These range from state correctional and health agencies to county and independent school districts, with school nutrition programs representing the largest share of recent solicitation volume.

Procurement activity is concentrated in the South and Southwest, with significant recent opportunities in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, AISD), Georgia (multiple county school systems including Hancock, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery due July 31, 2026, specifying USDA 2011 commodity standards and a 10 percent combined state-preference opportunity; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) spanning over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The Texas HHSC procurement HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) encompasses supplemental food products under prior pricing guidance of $1.5 million annually. School districts typically solicit fresh produce and processed fruit under firm-fixed-price FOB destination terms with Buy American and nutritional-standard compliance required, while state agencies emphasize USDA commodity specifications and delivery reliability to multiple facilities or distribution points.
