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 (Commodity) covers canned and processed apple products — primarily applesauce and prepared apple items — that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities. State and local buyers treat this code as a narrow but recurring source for shelf-stable fruit components in bulk quantities, typically under fixed-price delivery contracts. The issuing bodies span school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education across multiple states, reflecting consistent demand in child nutrition and institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show little activity tied explicitly to the UNSPSC code's "Non GMO Cortland apple purees" label; instead, the solicitations tag generic canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh-produce-inclusive food service contracts under this and adjacent codes, suggesting state and local procurement offices use the category broadly to capture apple-derived products regardless of specific variety or processing method.

The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB S-29100-00017453, closing July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce — sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky — compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, deliverable in five truckloads to Salem, Oregon, at a historical price of $21.84 per case under Oregon preferences for domestic goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026) for delivery to its central warehouse, while the State of Illinois and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued broader food-product solicitations that included apple items as minor line items within larger commodity baskets. The code shows modest recent concentration in the upper South and Pacific Northwest — Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Connecticut — with school districts as the most active repeat buyers, followed by state correctional and health facilities. No recent opportunities are tagged exclusively to this code; all documented activity bundles apple products into larger institutional food service procurements, making pursuit of standalone applesauce contracts unlikely absent a direct agency relationship or cooperative-purchasing vehicle.
