UNSPSC 50391575: Organic red stayman apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391575 Organic red stayman apple purees (Commodity) represents a narrow food-service product category that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies for institutional meal programs. Recent opportunities show these jurisdictions sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce—a broader mix than the code name suggests—indicating that "organic red stayman apple purees" functions as a catch-all category for apple-based processed foods within larger food-service and nutrition procurement vehicles. State corrections systems and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix; the Oregon Department of Corrections, Dallas Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and multiple Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County) appear most frequently in recent bids. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Illinois, and the City of Bridgeport also procure under this code for institutional food service, though set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies 10 percent combined preference for in-state goods and headquarters, and several school districts enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items.

Procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia (six school districts in recent opportunities), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) showing the strongest recent momentum. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical price $21.84 per case, FOB destination); the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical value $1.5 million annually (due July 13, 2026). School districts typically use IFB and RFP methods with firm-fixed pricing requirements, monthly or quarterly deliveries, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options. Vendors must maintain $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability insurance, provide HACCP plans and food safety certifications, comply with USDA commodity specifications, and submit to 30–90 day payment cycles post-delivery.
