UNSPSC 50561500: Non GMO apple purees

The type of non GMO apples known as non GMO apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561500 Non GMO apple purees is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of canned and processed apple products for institutional food service. The recent opportunities show governments buying canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, and fresh produce including apples across multiple procurement methods—ITB, RFP, and IFB. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with child nutrition services procuring apple products as part of broader grocery and produce contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas state facilities also appear as repeat buyers of canned applesauce and supplemental food products.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases in five truck loads, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables including apples for El Paso State Supported Living Center, with prior-period value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 (72 fresh produce items including 21,125 cases of Fuji apples annually, due April 23, 2026). Buy American provisions, minimum shelf-life requirements, firm pricing, and FOB destination delivery terms appear consistently across opportunities; several school districts specify preferred brands and allow equivalent products, while state facilities enforce strict USDA commodity specifications and compliance certifications.
