UNSPSC 50391574: Organic red rome apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391574 Organic red rome apple purees, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within state and local food service procurement, though recent solicitation activity shows that state and local buyers use this code for a much broader range of canned and processed fruit products than the code's specific name suggests. State and local governments procuring under this code are overwhelmingly school nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments seeking canned fruit products—applesauce, pears, and other canned fruit items—for child nutrition services, institutional feeding, and food service operations. The issuing bodies span multiple tiers: state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas, Dallas ISD in Texas, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), and special districts (Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia school systems posting procurement notices. Food service buyers in these jurisdictions seek firm pricing, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and Buy American requirements, and reliable delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites on FOB-destination, freight-prepaid terms.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem, Oregon, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, proposals due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, proposals due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center; and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties serving three school locations. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Virginia, with additional procurement from Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Oregon and Texas post repeat opportunities for canned fruit products; Texas appears most active across state agencies and school districts combined. Bidders typically face 10–51 percent domestic content or domestic-processing requirements, insurance thresholds of $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability, and firm pricing for 12-month contract periods with limited or no fuel-surcharge pass-through.
