UNSPSC 50391572: Organic red delicious apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391572 Organic red delicious apple purees is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of fruit purees and applesauce products delivered to institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code reflect demand for canned applesauce and processed apple products meeting USDA commodity specifications, with state corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services facilities as primary buyers. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple invitations to bid for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S2910000016975, closed June 2, 2026) requesting 1,904 to 4,760 cases delivered to a central distribution center, with products required to comply with USDA 2011 commodity specifications for canned fruit, be packed in juice, water, or light syrup, and carry minimum one-year shelf life. School districts and state institutional food service operations represent the bulk of issuing bodies under this code, though the narrow specificity of the UNSPSC category and the sparse recent opportunity set suggest activity is concentrated in a small number of repeat procurements rather than broadly distributed across jurisdictions.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Texas, and Georgia based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections has been the most frequent recent buyer of products coded to this category, with multiple applesauce solicitations posted in May and July 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued broader food and consumable product solicitations that may encompass applesauce and fruit puree line items within larger baskets of food service supplies (IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; IFB 304T-26-300CF extended to May 4, 2026). School districts in Georgia, including Liberty County Board of Education and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, have solicited fresh and processed fruit products through broader grocery and produce bids. The code shows limited standalone activity; most applesauce procurement appears bundled with broader institutional food service contracts rather than as a dedicated commodity line. Historical pricing in Oregon corrections bids has ranged from $21.827 to $21.84 per case, and delivery terms typically require FOB Destination with transportation prepaid by the contractor, 45- to 60-day initial delivery windows, and compliance with state preference programs such as Oregon's 5 percent combined preference for in-state fabrication and vendor headquarters.
