UNSPSC 50561512: Non GMO cortland apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561512 Non GMO Cortland apple purees, a Commodity code, describes processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—school cafeterias, corrections facilities, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying shelf-stable applesauce (canned, in various forms), dried apple products (crisps and bars), and fresh apples within broader food-service categories, though the puree specification itself appears narrowly in sourcing activity. Issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county social services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and municipal food-service operations (City of Bridgeport). State departments and large county systems dominate the activity, with repeated procurements from Oregon DOC and Illinois for weekly food orders and from Texas HHS for multi-facility supply contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut), Texas, Illinois, and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with Texas, Georgia, and Oregon showing the heaviest recent bid cycles. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with a five percent Oregon-content preference and historical pricing at $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables including applesauce variants serving state hospitals and living centers statewide (bid responses due March 19, 2026, with a maximum three-year value of $4.5 million); and Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026). Procurement activity under this code is sparse and episodic—applesauce and apple products appear as line items within larger commodity food contracts rather than standalone buys, and formal RTQ or RFQ isolation of non-GMO Cortland purees specifically does not surface in the recent record.
