UNSPSC 50561509: Non GMO cameo apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561509 Non GMO cameo apple purees (Commodity) represents a narrow food product category that state and local governments are currently procuring as part of broader school nutrition, correctional facility, and institutional food service operations. In recent solicitations, governments are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including apples, and related fruit products as components of larger food supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity line items. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Most activity involves institutional food service procurement where applesauce and fruit purees are one category among dozens of items—proteins, grains, dairy, vegetables—rather than sole-source procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in school districts across the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, USDA 2011 commodity specifications, packed in juice/water/light syrup, minimum one-year shelf life) for delivery to Salem by August 9, 2026, with historical pricing of $21.84 per case; bids were due July 31, 2026, through OregonBuys with a 10 percent combined state preference (5 percent Oregon goods, 5 percent Oregon bidder headquarters). ODOC also issued ITB S2910000016975 on May 18, 2026, for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (similar specs, same historical unit price of $21.827) due June 2, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, as a master grocery contract for K-12 school delivery and warehouse supply, due April 27, 2026, requiring 76 minimum items with Buy American compliance and nine-month shelf life. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (and subsequent version HHS0016792V2) to procure 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, with maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County via GEC Cooperative), Texas (Dallas ISD), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) all posted fresh produce and grocery items solicitations between February and June 2026. These procurements typically use IFB or RFP notice types, require firm fixed pricing for 12-month or longer periods, mandate Buy American compliance and USDA commodity specifications, impose insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million general liability), and allow the issuing body to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
