UNSPSC 50391526: Organic gala apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391526 Organic gala apple purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure processed apple products, predominantly canned applesauce and dried fruit bars for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show the code spanning a narrower scope than its title suggests: the Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts, and state health agencies are acquiring canned applesauce compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, dried fruit bars for K–12 food service, and supplemental fruit products for state supported living centers and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, multiple Georgia school systems), and county boards of education. School districts dominate the recent procurement activity, with multiple jurisdictions bidding annually for fresh produce and processed fruit items under their child nutrition programs.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon has posted two recent applesauce ITBs from its Department of Corrections (bids due July 31, 2026, and June 2, 2026, respectively), with canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case as a reference price. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County) have issued multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and processed fruit items between February and June 2026, with combined estimated annual spending reaching tens of millions across cooperative buying groups. Texas school districts and the state health system (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Texas HHSC) have posted RFPs and IFBs for food products and supplemental items with response dates spanning February through July 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) exemplifies current activity: firm pricing on FOB Destination basis, five percent Oregon-goods and five percent resident-bidder preferences combining to ten percent total, and delivery in five truck loads to Salem. School district procurements typically require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall capability, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during specified windows. Contract terms commonly run July through June annually with one to four renewal options at district discretion, firm fixed pricing throughout the performance period, and awards made to lowest responsive, responsible bidders or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
