UNSPSC 50391594 Organic winesap apple purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as canned applesauce and fresh or processed apple products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show a much broader scope than the code name suggests—state and local buyers are acquiring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia), and supplemental food products for state hospitals, supported living centers, and school districts. The buying organizations span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, county school systems, and municipal school boards. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers in the recent record, alongside numerous school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia. The geographic spread is nationwide but concentrated in the South and Midwest, with standout recent activity in Oregon (ODOC applesauce bids), Texas (HHSC supplemental food and Dallas ISD), Georgia (multiple school district produce and food buys), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery solicitations), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools).

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a July 31, 2026 response deadline, where ODOC applies a combined 10 percent preference (5 percent for Oregon goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and historical pricing was $21.84 per case; the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026, with delivery to central warehouse; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including produce for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. School nutrition programs dominate the recent pipeline—Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) BID 26-34 requested fresh produce with 21,125 cases of Fuji apples estimated annually. All school district procurements enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, and most require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA/USDA food safety standards.
