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 capturing canned applesauce and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for food service operations. State and local procurement under this code spans institutional food service for corrections, health and human services facilities, and school nutrition programs, with recent activity showing issuing bodies sourcing relatively modest volumes (typically one to five truckloads annually) of canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, delivered FOB destination. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county boards of education; Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer with at least two recent solicitations for applesauce in the past two months. The work involves standard food commodity procurement with firm fixed pricing per unit or per case, delivery to central distribution centers or school warehouses, minimum shelf-life requirements (typically one year), compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and insurance thresholds (generally $1 million per occurrence commercial liability).

Geographic activity centers on Oregon (Department of Corrections, multiple ITBs posted May and July 2026) and scattered activity across school districts and state facilities nationally, with no concentration in a single region evident from recent posts. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, bids due July 31, 2026, with a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and bidders; and an earlier ODOC ITB S2910000016975 for 1,904 cases due June 2, 2026, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case. Both solicitations emphasize FOB destination prepaid delivery, palletization requirements, and staggered truck-load scheduling. Responses must flow through state procurement portals (OregonBuys in Oregon) with no email submissions accepted. Incumbent vendors identified in Oregon include Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner. The code shows modest but steady activity typical of commodity food supply to institutional buyers; the volume and frequency of posting suggest this is a routine, recurring need rather than a growth area.
