UNSPSC 50561516: Non GMO crab apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561516 Non GMO crab apple purees (Commodity) encompasses canned and processed apple products—applesauces, fruit bars, and fresh produce—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The code's recent activity shows state and local buyers sourcing prepared apple products, dried fruit items, and fresh produce through a mix of issuing bodies: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Dallas ISD, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Hancock County), and special-purpose nutrition programs. School districts dominate the activity, reflecting the sustained demand for child nutrition services across multiple jurisdictions. Most recent opportunities are solicited as IFB, RFP, or ITB with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the South and Southwest: Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Douglas County), Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (Bridgeport), with additional activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (Chief Procurement Office). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at an estimated $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties.
