UNSPSC 50561513 Non-GMO custard apple purees is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit purees and processed fruit products procured by state and local food service operations. In practice, state and local buyers tag this code for shelf-stable and refrigerated fruit products used in institutional food service — primarily applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce for school cafeterias, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), county boards of education and county government service departments, municipal school districts and city nutrition centers, and special institutional operators. The procurement mix spans single-item commodity bids (applesauce cases for prisons), multi-line fresh produce RFPs for school nutrition programs, and broader food and consumable packages for state hospital and residential facility kitchens.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD, and DSHS procurements), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections applesauce bids), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport nutrition). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (historical price $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales); the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties with bids due June 26, 2026; and Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service with proposals due July 16, 2026.
