UNSPSC 50561523: Non GMO empire apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561523 Non GMO Empire Apple Purees (Commodity) encompasses canned and processed apple products—applesauce, apple crisps, and dried fruit bars—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State agencies (corrections departments, health and human services commissions), school districts (independent and county-based), and special-purpose districts issue solicitations under this code through ITB, RFP, and IFB notice types. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts appear as repeat buyers in recent opportunities. The work involves supplying packaged or processed apple products meeting USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA standards, and nutritional requirements, with pricing submitted on a per-unit or per-case basis, firm fixed prices for contract periods, and delivery on FOB destination terms with all transportation prepaid.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (closed July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, requiring delivery in five truckloads to Salem. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for delivery to its central warehouse. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumable products including apple-based items under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million across broader food categories. School districts in Hancock County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri; Liberty County, Georgia; and Dallas, Texas have issued competing bids for fresh produce, processed fruit items, and grocery staples that include apple varieties and apple products as line items within broader food procurement scopes. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear standard in school district solicitations. Oregon applies local-vendor preferences of up to 10 percent combined. Most opportunities are demand-usage contracts with firm pricing for the contract year, renewal options spanning one to four additional years, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms.
