UNSPSC 50391583: Organic starking apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391583 Organic starking apple purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy canned applesauce and fresh-produce-derived food products for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show applesauce supplied as bulk canned goods (typically 4,000+ cases per contract, delivered in truckload quantities) alongside broader procurement for fresh produce, eggs, and prepared foods that emphasize USDA compliance, nutritional standards, and Buy American requirements. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer of canned applesauce. The geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with the most recent and concentrated activity in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations) and Georgia (county and district-level school nutrition programs).

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) with bids due July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the historical price was $21.84 per case. A prior ODOC solicitation (ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) requested 1,904 cases at $21.827 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including produce and prepared items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 11, 2026. Across these solicitations, pricing is firm fixed, delivery is FOB destination with transportation prepaid, shelf-life minimums range from one to three years, and contractors must carry $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability insurance. School nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) are active under broader grocery and produce codes but occasionally pull applesauce or apple-based products within larger fresh and processed food awards. No specific incumbent vendors or set-asides tied solely to this Commodity code appear in the recent record; however, Texas applications reference HUB subcontracting encouragement (not requirements), and some Georgia and Connecticut solicitations employ MBE/CBE certifications under local ordinances.
