UNSPSC 50561524: Non GMO flower of kent apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561524, Non-GMO flower of kent apple purees, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under it. The code's nominal scope is a narrowly defined food product — non-GMO applesauce derived from Kent apple flowers — yet the recent opportunities show no procurement demand for that specific item or product class. Instead, issuing bodies are buying shelf-stable food products (canned vegetables, proteins, condiments), fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables), cafeteria and nutrition-center supplies, and institutional food service across multiple food categories and form factors. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity descriptor and the actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local tagging system or that the commodity code sits dormant while food procurement moves through broader, more inclusive code families above it.

Recent opportunities span state corrections departments, school boards, county health and senior services agencies, and state-supported living centers across Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Georgia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016975 for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, ITB closed June 2, 2026) at $21.827 per case historical pricing, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content requirements appear frequently (Oregon, Georgia school districts, Connecticut), as do state-specific set-asides (Oregon's 10 percent combined preference for in-state fabrication and headquarters). Activity is sparse under the specific commodity code, and business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement planning purposes.
