UNSPSC 50391524: Organic flower of kent apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391524 Organic flower of kent apple purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure shelf-stable fruit products — applesauce, fruit bars, apple crisps, and related processed fruit items — for institutional food service, particularly corrections facilities, schools, social service agencies, and senior centers. The recent solicitations show no actual procurement of the code's nominal product (organic kent apple purees specifically), but rather a broader pattern of state and local purchases of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh or processed apple products under variant UNSPSC assignments. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, city school nutrition programs, and county social services, with no single buyer appearing more than once across the block. Scope of work includes competitive bids and proposals for ingredient-level food commodities delivered to institutional warehouses or central distribution points on firm, fixed-price terms with all transportation prepaid.

Geographic activity centers on the South and West — Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple applesauce ITBs with June 2026 and July 2026 response dates), Georgia (Gwinnett County and State of Georgia general food commodities), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ cafeteria products with May 2026 response date), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, weekly food orders), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792V2, prior bid deadline March 19, 2026 with a stated maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), and the Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, proposals due July 16, 2026). Most solicitations apply Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), require firm fixed pricing through contract term, and award on best-value criteria rather than lowest price alone.
