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) sees steady activity across state correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies purchasing canned applesauce and fresh produce items under this code. State and local governments buy applesauce and apple-based products principally for institutional food service—cafeteria operations in correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District) appear repeatedly in the recent record as major repeat buyers of commodity food products under related codes.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia leading with six recent school-district opportunities), Texas (state corrections and HHSC facilities), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with scattered activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, requiring USDA 2011 commodity specifications, FOB destination delivery in five truckloads to Salem, and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preference; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including commodity fruits) for El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering estimated prior-period spending of $1.5 million with firm fixed-unit pricing and evaluation on best value rather than price alone. Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026) and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts (proposals due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One) illustrate the scale and cooperative-purchasing patterns driving demand in K–12 nutrition programs. Canned applesauce contracts typically specify USDA commodity standards, minimum shelf life (usually one year), FOB destination delivery, and firm pricing inclusive of transportation; school produce procurements increasingly mandate Buy American content (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed items), HACCP plans, and weekly fresh delivery to multiple school sites.
