UNSPSC 50391578 Organic rome beauty apple purees is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and processed apple products — particularly applesauce in various forms (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky) — that state and local governments procure for institutional food service. The code covers products meeting USDA commodity specifications, typically packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with minimum shelf-life requirements. State and local buyers include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and county social services departments. School districts and corrections systems appear as repeat purchasers in recent solicitations, reflecting the code's primary use in large-scale institutional meal service for students, incarcerated individuals, and residents of state-supported facilities.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-016975 due June 2, 2026), each soliciting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases for delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; both offered a combined 10% preference for Oregon goods and resident bidders, with historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) included apple varieties across a broader fresh-produce procurement but signals institutional demand. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026) encompassed 210 line items including fresh and processed fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Gwinnett County, Georgia (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) purchased shelf-stable food items for senior services. Recent opportunities reflect firm fixed pricing quoted per unit or case, FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, minimum one-year shelf life from best-use-by date, compliance with USDA commodity and FDA/USDC standards, and institutional delivery windows of one to three months. No major set-asides were noted except Oregon's state and resident preferences. The code shows steady demand tied to institutional nutrition budgets, with contracts typically structured as single or multi-year awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value.
