UNSPSC 50391545: Organic jonagold apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391545 Organic jonagold apple purees (Commodity) represents a narrow food-service segment that state and local governments buy primarily as canned applesauce and dried apple products for institutional meal programs. Recent opportunities show the code in use across state corrections systems, school nutrition services, health and human services facilities, and state hospitals—a mix of demand-driven by high-volume, standardized food procurement for secure facilities and K–12 districts. The work solicited is straightforward: sealed bids and RFPs for pre-packaged apple products in bulk quantities (cases or truckloads), with delivery to central distribution points or individual school sites, pricing firm for contract terms, and compliance with USDA commodity grades and FDA food-safety standards. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health agencies, county boards of education, independent school districts, and state-supported living centers; school districts appear as the most frequent recent buyers, followed by state facility operators.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent applesauce solicitations (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, closed June 2, 2026), each for multi-truckload quantities at approximately $21.83 per case delivered. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services issued multiple statewide food bids covering supplemental products for hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792, closed February 23, 2026; HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). School districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia have solicited fresh produce including apples and apple products as part of larger K–12 nutrition contracts—Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB #SN002-2027, Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, Rockwood School District Child Nutrition Services, and others. The code sees steady but not intensive activity, with opportunities concentrated in high-volume institutional buyers that consolidate annual or multi-year nutrition supply in single large procurements rather than frequent small orders.
