UNSPSC 50561503: Non GMO api apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561503 Non-GMO API apple purees (Commodity) encompasses canned and processed apple products—applesauce, fruit bars, and apple crisps—that state and local governments procure for food service operations at correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are purchasing applesauce in bulk cases (typically 1,900 to 4,760 cases per award), dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school cafeterias, and apple products as line items within broader food commodity contracts. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county nutrition and services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC). State correctional facilities and institutional food-service operations appear as repeat buyers under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois, with recent procurement spanning June through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including apple products for the Department of Community Services (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food order for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, due August 24, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) apply in school nutrition and supported living center procurements, and state preferences for domestic fabrication or processing are common in Oregon and Georgia solicitations.
