UNSPSC 50391541: Organic ida red apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391541 Organic ida red apple purees (Commodity) covers state and local procurement of canned and processed apple products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show broader fruit processing and applesauce sourcing that extends beyond the code's nominal organic specification. State and local governments are purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental fruit products through departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The work solicited ranges from small fixed-quantity purchases for single institutions to large statewide frameworks serving multiple facilities. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, county school boards, city boards of education, and special-purpose state supported living centers; school districts represent the largest and most repeat-active buyer category across multiple states.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and upper Midwest, with substantial ongoing demand in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a five percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident preference; Robbins Sales held the prior award as of June 2026. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for delivery to the central warehouse. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued a quarterly food order solicitation (posted June 12, 2026, due June 17, 2026) with brand-specific requirements for July–September fiscal year 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including fruit items to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center across multiple NIGP classes, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period and estimated annual spending across Douglas County School System purchases reaching $4.4 million for fresh produce categories inclusive of apple varieties. The code shows consistent institutional demand with firm pricing requirements, FOB destination delivery terms, Buy American provisions in school-based procurements, and multi-year contract structures with renewal options; however, sourcing does not consistently emphasize organic certification.
