UNSPSC 50391566: Organic pitmaston pineapple apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391566 Organic pitmaston pineapple apple purees (Commodity) sees modest but steady state and local activity centered on school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code focuses on canned applesauce and apple-based products—both sweetened and unsweetened, smooth and chunky varieties—sourced for K–12 cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations name Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Georgia school districts as repeat buyers, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant use case. Issuing bodies span state departments, county and city school districts, and specialized state agencies operating food service for residential facilities; schools particularly dominate the activity, soliciting under tight delivery and quality-assurance requirements tied to USDA commodity standards and nutritional compliance.

Recent opportunities concentrate in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases delivered to Salem; the historical price point runs $21.82–$21.84 per case, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference applied. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services has actively bid supplemental food and consumable products statewide through multiple solicitations (HHS0017449, HHS0016792, HHS0016792V2). The code shows no distinct geographic concentration; activity spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts and state institutional buyers issuing multiple overlapping procurements for similar products across different contract years and delivery models. Entry barriers remain low—most RFPs and ITBs impose no set-asides—but vendors must meet USDA commodity and FDA standards, carry minimum $1 million commercial liability insurance, and commit to firm fixed pricing for full contract periods often running July through June.
