UNSPSC 50561530: Non GMO gladstone apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561530 Non GMO Gladstone apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and shelf-stable apple products — applesauce and purees — that state and local food service operations procure for institutional consumption. Recent solicitations show the code capturing purchases of both branded and non-branded applesauce for correctional facilities, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. While the code name specifies Gladstone variety and non-GMO status, the actual procurement activity spans conventional canned applesauce meeting USDA commodity standards, with sweetened and unsweetened varieties, smooth or chunky textures, and no explicit restriction to organic or specialty labeling. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and regional nutrition centers — a mix spanning corrections, aging services, K-12 food service, and state institutional care.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two bids for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), both specifying approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per award and offering Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences at five percent each. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for mixed shelf-stable food items as part of a 1,062-case food purchase for the Department of Community Services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued a large supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable products including canned fruit for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million. Pricing in recent awards has run approximately $21.80–$21.84 per case for institutional-grade canned applesauce.
