UNSPSC 50391547: Organic jonathan apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391547 Organic jonathan apple purees is a Commodity code tracking applesauce and apple-based products purchased by state and local food service operations, particularly correctional institutions, school districts, and health and human services facilities. State and local governments under this code buy shelf-stable canned applesauce in bulk cases to supply institutional dining programs; recent solicitations show purchases ranging from 1,900 to 4,760 cases per procurement cycle, with applesauce specified as complying with USDA commodity standards, packed in juice or light syrup, and delivered FOB destination to central distribution points. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County), and city boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut). The issuing-body mix reflects concentration among institutional food service purchasers with stable recurring demand, particularly state-level buyers managing multiple facilities and quarterly or annual competitive solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the Oregon Department of Corrections posting ITBs in May and July 2026 (S2910000016975 due June 2; S2910000017453 due July 31), Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties in June 2026, and Georgia and Texas state agencies posting broader food commodity procurements that encompass applesauce lines. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (responses due August 24 and June 17, 2026 for Q4 and Q3 FY-27 respectively). Historical pricing from Oregon's June 2026 applesauce bid stood at $21.827 per case; July 2026 showed an increase to $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales. School districts and county health departments enter the market less frequently but in larger volumes — Gwinnett County (October 2026) and Texas HHSC (May 2026, $1.5 million historical value across all food and consumables) represent institutional anchor buyers with annual or multi-year horizons and firm pricing requirements over their contract terms.
