UNSPSC 50561505: Non GMO braeburn apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561505 Non GMO braeburn apple purees is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement of packaged apple-based products, though recent opportunities show the code capturing a broader range of shelf-stable fruit items including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh apple varieties rather than purees specifically. Issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, school districts, county boards of commissioners, and city nutrition centers—predominantly food-service operations anchored by institutional cafeterias, senior services, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The mix reflects recurring procurement by dedicated nutrition and food-service departments within larger state agencies and districts rather than ad-hoc or one-time buyers.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the highest frequency in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations) and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce ITBs). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Fruit Applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, bid due July 31, 2026) seeking approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) spanning 210 line items including fruits with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years, and Hancock County Board of Education's Fresh Produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items with multiple apple varieties for school year 2026–27 delivery. Bridgeport's Board of Education Nutrition Center (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) and Austin Independent School District's dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) round out the sector's diversity. Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear consistently, particularly in school nutrition procurement; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for in-state goods and resident bidders. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value, with firms commonly required to maintain $1 million–$2 million general commercial liability insurance and submit USDA compliance certifications, HACCP plans, and vendor performance references.
