UNSPSC 50391580: Organic sierra beauty apple purees

The variety of organic apples known as organic sierra beauty apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391580 Organic sierra beauty apple purees is a Commodity code covering specific fresh and processed apple fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments buy applesauce, apple crisps, and dried apple products through this code to supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, aging services, state hospitals, and other institutional dining operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating apple purees and applesauce as a line item within broader food commodities procurements rather than as standalone specialty contracts, though some purchasing agencies issue dedicated produce or fruit specifications that isolate apple products by variety or processing method.

Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, city school districts, county aging services, and state-level procurement offices acting on behalf of institutional end-users. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears repeatedly in recent activity, having posted separate ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with recent opportunities from Oregon (Department of Corrections), Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, State of Georgia), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller on behalf of Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (State of Illinois, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (Austin Independent School District). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, specifying USDA 2011 commodity standards and accepting sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky varieties with a five percent Oregon-goods preference available; the historical award to Robbins Sales was $21.84 per case. An earlier ODOC ITB for 1,904 cases of applesauce closed June 2, 2026, with a historical award to MJ Kellner at $21.827 per case.

Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, for central warehouse delivery. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a $4.5 million potential value over three years and a March 19, 2026 close date; apple purees were not isolated in the scope summary but fall within the broader fresh, frozen, and dry food categories specified.
