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, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code show purchasing of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, eggs, and broad commodity food supplies—none specifically or primarily non-GMO Gravenstein apple purees. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) deliverable in five truckloads of 40,000 pounds each to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, and a historical price of $21.84 per case. This represents the closest match to the code's nominal scope, yet even this procurement does not specify non-GMO or Gravenstein sourcing. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, with proposals due July 16, 2026, for delivery to the district's central warehouse. The remaining opportunities—Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food orders, Texas HHSC food and consumable products, and multiple school district procurements for fresh produce, eggs, and broad-line food supply—fall outside the code's stated specialty and suggest a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and actual procurement activity.

State and local food purchasing under this code spans school districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and other institutional buyers across Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Geographic activity clusters around school nutrition programs and state institutional facilities in the Southeast, South, and Pacific Northwest. Recent opportunities show strong activity in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (ODOC), with additional solicitations from Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). No recent opportunities explicitly specify non-GMO Gravenstein apple purees as a procurement requirement; the code's narrow commodity definition does not align with the broad institutional food purchasing now classified under it, suggesting either a data-classification error in the state and local sourcing systems or abandonment of this specialized product line in favor of generic applesauce, fresh produce, and commodity food aggregation.
