UNSPSC 50391530 Organic gladstone apple purees is a Commodity code covering canned and shelf-stable apple products purchased by state and local food service operations, including corrections departments, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state-supported living facilities. Recent solicitations show the code in use for institutional bulk food procurement spanning fresh, frozen, and processed apple products — including applesauce, dried apple crisps, and fresh apples — ordered in cases or truckloads and delivered to central warehouses or facility distribution centers. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas, Illinois), county school districts (Hancock County, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Bridgeport, Connecticut), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on firm fixed unit pricing, with delivery FOB destination and compliance with USDA commodity standards, Buy American provisions, and food safety certifications (HACCP plans, E-Verify, recall accessibility).
