UNSPSC 50561525: Non GMO fuji apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561525 Non GMO Fuji apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed apple products sourced by state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for shelf-stable apple-based products—principally canned applesauce in bulk institutional quantities and processed apple components for school meal programs—delivered to central warehouses or directly to school sites. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in recent months, most recently under ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, with delivery in five 40,000-pound truckloads to Salem. The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward school districts and state institutional facilities: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) procured fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year; Austin Independent School District (Texas) sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly solicit food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Oregon, Texas, and Georgia dominate recent activity, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections' repeat procurement of canned applesauce—at $21.84 per case historically, awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026 and to MJ Kellner previously—signals sustained institutional demand for standardized bulk apple products. School districts across Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) are collectively the largest buyer category, though most recent school nutrition solicitations specify fresh produce and mixed grocery categories rather than processed apple purees alone. The code shows modest concentration in institutional bulk purchasing with Oregon DOC as a standout repeat buyer, suggesting stable but narrow market opportunity focused on corrections and state health-care facilities rather than widespread school-district adoption of this specific commodity.
