UNSPSC 50561514: Non GMO court pendu plat apple purees

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO court pendu plat apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561514 Non GMO court pendu plat apple purees (Commodity) covers apple-based fruit products — primarily canned applesauce and processed apple items — that state and local governments buy for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional feeding. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing shelf-stable applesauce in bulk cases alongside broader food commodity procurement, sometimes as discrete line items within mixed-produce contracts and sometimes as standalone buys. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state correctional departments, state veterans' homes, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county senior services programs. Buyers typically issue ITBs or IFBs with firm fixed pricing on a per-case or per-unit basis, require FOB Destination delivery with prepaid freight, and mandate compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards; many apply Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and seek multiple quotes or sealed bids with awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent canned applesauce ITBs — S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case) and S-29100-00016975 (due June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases at $21.83 per case) — both offering Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated-goods preferences. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission included applesauce and other processed fruits within a broader supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026, with maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy quarterly, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants. School districts and county boards — including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (RFQ due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties) and Austin Independent School District in Texas (RFP due July 16, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps) — are active buyers. Activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, with additional buys visible in Connecticut, Arizona, and nationally; most opportunities close between May and October, aligning with fiscal-year transitions and back-to-school procurement cycles.
