UNSPSC 50391539: Organic honeycrisp apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391539 Organic honeycrisp apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses canned applesauce and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating the code broadly to include canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce bundled with apple varieties (Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith) rather than specialty purees alone. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), and municipal entities (Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts in Georgia and Missouri issuing competing solicitations for fresh produce and food products on overlapping timelines.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, multiple state-supported living centers), Georgia (multiple school districts including Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Hancock County), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with activity also in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (state office). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historically, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products covering multiple NIGP classes (due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (due June 26, 2026), and the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB053266 for commodities across 115 line items (due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear consistently across school district procurements, and Oregon and Georgia jurisdictions apply state-vendor preferences (5–10 percent combined in Oregon; none specified elsewhere). Most awards are made to lowest responsive, responsible bidders based on best value, with contracts typically running twelve months and including renewal options.
