UNSPSC 50561526: Non GMO gala apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561526 Non GMO Gala Apple Purees, a Commodity code, covers apple puree products—including unsweetened, sweetened, smooth, and chunky varieties packed in juice, water, or light syrup—that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and senior services. Recent opportunities show the code is being used for institutional bulk food procurement; however, the specific focus on Non GMO Gala Apple Purees as a distinct line item appears narrow in current activity, with most recent solicitations tagging broader fresh produce, canned fruit applesauce, or general food commodities under different UNSPSC codes or using generic commodity classifications rather than the Non GMO Gala specification.

Recent opportunities are concentrated among school districts, state corrections and veterans facilities, and county nutrition services across Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per cycle) under ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) and ITB S-29100-00016975 (closed June 2, 2026), with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case and preferences totaling 10 percent for Oregon fabrication and residency. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products including fruit items under IFB HHS0016792V2 (closed March 19, 2026) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for 2026–27 under IFB #SN002-2027 (closed June 26, 2026) with over 200 line items spanning multiple apple varieties and delivery to three school locations; Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with August and June 2026 due dates. State and local issuers typically require FOB Destination delivery, Buy American compliance for school food service under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, insurance of $1–$2 million in commercial general liability, USDA commodity compliance, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value consideration; none of the recent opportunities explicitly name Non GMO Gala Apple Purees as a line item or specify GMO status as a requirement.
