UNSPSC 50561501: Non GMO akane apple purees

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO akane apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561501 Non GMO akane apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and shelf-stable apple products — applesauce, apple crisps, and dried fruit bars — that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, senior services, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of branded and generic commodity procurement: school districts and county boards of education are the dominant buyers, along with state corrections and health and human services agencies. The scope extends beyond akane-variety applesauce narrowly defined; sourcing includes sweetened and unsweetened applesauce in smooth or chunky form, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp) for integrated food service contracting. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county boards of education, and county senior services departments. No dominant repeat buyer emerges from the recent solicitation set; activity is distributed across multiple agencies and jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and multi-state state agency procurements. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), with historical awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, bid closing March 19, 2026, anticipated $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items including fresh and frozen fruit products. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for SY27 via IFB (due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center issued commodities bids (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic for processed products) appear routinely in school nutrition solicitations; state agencies apply Oregon and residency preferences where applicable. Most school and county nutrition contracts run calendar or fiscal-year terms with firm pricing and FOB destination delivery to central warehouses or multiple facility locations.
