UNSPSC 50391558: Organic northern spy apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391558 Organic northern spy apple purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within food procurement, though recent state and local opportunities reveal that the code sees limited direct solicitation activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of organic northern spy apple purees specifically; instead, the recent contract notices span broader food and produce categories. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, while the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce (not specifically organic northern spy), the Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Bridgeport Board of Education have both issued broader food and consumable product solicitations. These opportunities suggest that state and local buying under this code, if it occurs, is likely embedded within larger food service contracts rather than appearing as discrete line-item procurements for a specialty product.

Activity under the code spans state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county governments across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has been the most frequent buyer of canned applesauce, posting multiple ITBs with response dates in May and July 2026, though these do not specify organic or northern spy varieties. School districts and institutional food service buyers dominate the recent opportunities, with fixed-price, brand-or-equal specifications being common terms. Geographic spread includes the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), and the Midwest (Illinois), with no clear concentration. The most directly relevant recent solicitation is the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for canned fruit applesauce, with bids due June 2, 2026, and a historical award price of $21.827 per case to MJ Kellner. Vendors pursuing this code should expect institutional food service buyers, delivery on FOB destination terms with prepaid freight, USDA commodity compliance requirements, and evaluation on price and responsiveness within firm fixed-price contracts.
