UNSPSC 50391537 Organic greening apple purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable processed and fresh fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—procured by state and local food-service operations for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. State and local buyers under this code include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The scope spans individual purchases of food items for emergency nutrition programs and large-volume blanket contracts supporting ongoing institutional food service, with recent opportunities reflecting both direct commodity buys and framework agreements that allow ordering on a weekly or quarterly basis.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut showing the most recent solicitation volume. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026 (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), requesting approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively, with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case and a five percent Oregon-goods preference available.
