UNSPSC 50391535: Organic granny smith apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391535 Organic granny smith apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and packaged apple products supplied to state agencies, school districts, and institutional food service operations. State and local procurement under this code focuses on applesauce, apple purees, and related processed apple products in bulk quantities for prison food service, school nutrition programs, and state-supported residential facilities. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, school districts of varying sizes, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education. Applesauce and related products are procured as components of broader food service contracts rather than standalone line items, reflecting their role as nutritional staples in cafeteria and institutional meal planning.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, with bids due July 31, 2026, and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. Earlier in the procurement cycle, the same agency issued ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026 for 1,904 cases of applesauce with a June 2, 2026, closing date, with Oregon applying a combined 10 percent preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Beyond applesauce, school districts and state institutions in Georgia and Texas have solicited fresh produce and processed fruit items under broader food service RFPs and IFBs—including the Hancock County Board of Education (June 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (March 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state facilities (multiple solicitations February–June 2026)—though these opportunities typically embed apple products within larger commodity baskets rather than isolating them. The code shows moderate but concentrated activity in institutional food procurement, with Oregon and Texas accounting for the most recent solicitation volume.
