UNSPSC 50391585: Organic stayman winesap apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50391585 Organic Stayman Winesap Apple Purees (Commodity) describes apple purees and applesauces that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service — primarily correctional facilities, veterans homes, schools, senior centers, and state health agencies. The code captures processed fruit products for high-volume, shelf-stable food supply to public institutions, where purees and applesauces appear as line items within broader food commodity procurements rather than as standalone specialty products. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, school districts, and county social services agencies. Recent solicitations show state prison systems, state veterans homes, and school nutrition programs as the primary buyers, with procurement methods ranging from ITB to RFP depending on the purchasing jurisdiction and contract structure.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (most recent ITB S-29100-00017453, bids due July 31, 2026, and prior ITB S-29100-00016975, bids due June 2, 2026), each soliciting approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem with FOB Destination pricing and a historical award price near $21.83 per case. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted recurring weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly procurements in June and August 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, response deadline March 19, 2026, estimated contract value $4.5 million over three years) spanning 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year (IFB due June 26, 2026). The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) procured shelf-stable food items including sauces and proteins (IWQ 140229, quotes due October 19, 2026). Applesauce and purees appear as components within larger food service tenders rather than as sole-source purchases, and state corrections and veterans services represent the steadiest repeat buyers in the recent record.
