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

UNSPSC 50391529 Organic ginger gold apple purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable apple-based food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state health and human services institutions. Recent solicitations under this code show buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, fresh apples across multiple varieties, and broader fresh produce baskets that include apple products alongside other fruits and vegetables for kitchen operations and meal preparation. The issuing-body mix spans state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school boards, city nutrition centers, and county senior services divisions. State departments of corrections in Oregon have posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce; the State of Illinois has solicited weekly food orders for veterans homes; Texas health and human services agencies have requested supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers; and school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas have bid fresh produce and food service commodities that include apple products.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the most visible solicitations posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections (two ITBs for canned applesauce, May and July 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, June and August 2026), Georgia school and county nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce RFQ, June 2026; Gwinnett County informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins, October 2026), and Texas state health and human services (IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items, May 2026; IFB for HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food service, June 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Nutrition Center solicited commodities including fruit products (June 2026), and Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (July 2026). Pricing in recent applesauce contracts ranged from $21.83 to $21.84 per case in Oregon; school-district fresh-produce contracts specify delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites with firm pricing for 12-month terms and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content.
