UNSPSC 50391548: Organic katy apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391548 Organic katy apple purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable apple products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps—purchased by state and local agencies for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, veterans homes, schools, and social-services programs. Recent state and local solicitations show demand across custodial operations: the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases per procurement), the State of Illinois procures weekly food orders including shelf-stable items for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly rolling basis, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sources supplemental food and consumables including fruit products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, and school districts and county boards of education solicit apple crisps, dried fruit bars, applesauce, and fresh apple varieties for nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, human services, veteran affairs, and state-operated institutional care), county boards of education, independent school districts, and special-purpose institutional operations; the State of Illinois and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers with standing quarterly or annual cycles.

Activity concentrates in Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with solicitations also in Mississippi and Massachusetts. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITBs for canned applesauce due June 2, 2026 and July 31, 2026 (4,760 cases, historical price $21.84 per case, FOB destination to Salem central distribution, 10% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-headquartered vendors); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued RFP opportunities for weekly food supply to Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with due dates June 17 and August 24, 2026 (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, quarterly terms); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and refrigerated fruits under IFB HHS0016792v2 (210 line items, bid deadline March 19, 2026, anticipated contract value $4.5 million over three years including renewals); and Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Institutional food service procurement in this code typically requires FOB destination pricing, compliance with USDA standards and buy-domestic provisions, proof of commercial liability insurance, and delivery-schedule reliability; shelf life, packaging specifications, and brand-or-approved-equivalent flexibility are common terms.
