UNSPSC 50391552: Organic laxton apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391552 Organic laxton apple purees, a Commodity code, frames the work state and local governments actually buy under it as canned applesauce and dried fruit bars for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, though the recent opportunities show considerably broader institutional purchasing spanning state departments of health, school districts, and state-supported living centers. The code shows active solicitation activity centered on food service supply contracts where applesauce and apple-based products appear alongside hundreds of other grocery items as line items within master food procurement vehicles rather than as standalone commodities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting work in this code include school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), counties (Muscogee County), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School districts appear as the most frequent repeat buyers, with multiple districts in Georgia and Missouri posting produce and grocery solicitations in recent months.

The geographic spread reflects activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with standout recent opportunity clusters in Georgia (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Texas HHSC statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service with proposals due July 16, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with historical annual spending of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026, exemplifies larger-scale institutional food service contracting where apple-based commodities are typically one commodity category among dozens.
