UNSPSC 50391550: Organic lady apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391550 Organic lady apple purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show the code applied to generic canned applesauce and dried fruit products rather than organic-specific varieties. School districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and state-supported living centers are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs representing the most frequent buyers across multiple states. The scope of work spans canned fruit applesauce delivered in bulk to central distribution centers and warehouses, dried fruit bars and apple crisps for K-12 food service, and miscellaneous fruit products supplied as part of weekly or quarterly food orders under fixed-price or cost-plus contracts. Institutional buyers typically solicit through IFB, ITB, or RFP methods with firm pricing requirements, Buy American provisions where applicable, and USDA commodity compliance standards; deliveries are FOB destination with transportation prepaid and quantities estimated at hundreds to thousands of cases annually depending on the facility's meal volume.

Geographic spread centers on the South and Southeast, with recent activity in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing with 5% Oregon-content and Oregon-headquarter preferences), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food procurement with brand-specific requirements due June 17, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables including fruit products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. Activity is steady across institutional food service procurement; the code's actual recent use spans commodity-grade canned fruit rather than premium organic products, suggesting the code taxonomy may not fully track the category's contemporary procurement mix.
