UNSPSC 50391701: Organic apple banana purees

The variety of organic bananas known as organic apple bananas which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391701 Organic apple banana purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of processed fruit products — primarily canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce — for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs. The solicitations under this code reflect actual purchases of shelf-stable and fresh apple and banana derivatives, not necessarily all products marketed as "organic," with work scope ranging from bulk canned applesauce and specialty dried fruit to fresh produce contracts serving thousands of daily meals across school systems.

State and local issuing bodies active under the code include corrections departments, independent school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently July 2026 and June 2026), while school districts dominate the recent activity—Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and numerous Georgia county school systems (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County) are all active bidders on fresh produce, dried fruit, and processed fruit contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued large supplemental food procurements covering multiple state facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (state agencies and school districts), Georgia (multiple county and regional school systems), Oregon (corrections), Missouri (school districts), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), with school nutrition programs representing the largest concentration of recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for master grocery K-12 with multiple fresh and processed fruit items due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across both geographic areas.
