UNSPSC 50396900: Organic sugar apple purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic sugar apple which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50396900 Organic sugar apple purees, a Class code, shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — organic, sugar-added apple purees as a distinct product line — does not match the work actually being solicited under opportunities tagged to this code. Recent solicitations reveal instead a broad mix of general food service procurement: canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specs), dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce including apples, and comprehensive food supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees for school districts, corrections facilities, and state health agencies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin ISD in Texas, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County districts in Missouri and Georgia), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC and DSHS, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas TDCJ), and county school nutrition programs (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County in Georgia). The code shows no repeat buyer concentration; each jurisdiction appears once or twice in the recent record.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with secondary presence in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Liberty County) represent the densest cluster of recent opportunities. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (estimated $5.5 million annually, response due March 4, 2026). Across these opportunities, state and local governments are buying commodity and specialty produce, canned fruit products, and ingredients for food service at scale — not the premium organic apple puree product the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated category.
