UNSPSC 50561536: Non GMO gravenstein apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561536 Non GMO gravenstein apple purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code itself names a narrowly specific product—gravenstein apple purees that are non-GMO—yet the sourced recent opportunities soliciting under this code span generic food and consumable procurement across multiple jurisdictions and food categories, with no Gravenstein-specific mentions. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026 (S2910000016975 and S2910000017453), but both called for applesauce generally under USDA 2011 commodity specifications, without reference to Gravenstein varieties or non-GMO certification. Gwinnett County, Georgia (IWQ 140229, October 2026); the State of Illinois (quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, June and August 2026); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, June 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables, May 2026; food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products, May 2026) all issued bids or RFPs for broad food supply covering proteins, fresh produce, frozen items, and shelf-stable goods, none narrowed to gravenstein apple purees or non-GMO produce lines specifically.

The disconnect between the code's specificity and the generalist food procurement it captures suggests either miscoding of opportunities at the commodity level or that this narrow product line receives no dedicated solicitation activity in the sourced records. State and local food service procurement—particularly for school nutrition, institutional food service, corrections, and senior services—remains active across Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, Texas, and Oregon, with counties, school districts, and state agencies issuing ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs regularly. However, if pursuing this code, prospects should expect to compete in broad food supply contracts where applesauce variants are one line item among dozens or hundreds, not in dedicated Gravenstein- or non-GMO-specific buys.
