UNSPSC 50561506: Non GMO bramley apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561506 Non GMO bramley apple purees, a Commodity code, covers canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services operations, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce including multiple apple varieties—products that span the intersection of commodity fruit procurement and value-added processing. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Hancock County Board of Education), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office). School districts dominate the activity, soliciting grocery and food supply contracts on annual cycles tied to school years running July through June. These procurements emphasize Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, nutritional standards, and sustainability of supply.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with Texas emerging as the highest-volume market across state agencies and school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for a Master Grocery K-12 contract supplying 52 school locations and distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. School districts typically set firm pricing for 12-month contract periods with limited midterm adjustments tied to documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater, require FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, mandate general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and reserve rights to award single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. Evaluation favors lowest responsive bid meeting specifications, with quality and vendor performance as secondary factors.
