UNSPSC 50561541: Non GMO ida red apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561541 Non GMO ida red apple purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this item primarily as shelf-stable food products for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and social services operations. The code sees solicitation across school districts, state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), and county social services agencies. Recent opportunities show the product bundled with broader fresh produce, canned fruit, and general commodities contracts rather than as a standalone line item; applesauce appears as one SKU among dozens in multi-category food solicitations. Delivery terms are standard FOB destination to central warehouses or institutional dining facilities, with pricing evaluated per unit (typically per case). Vendors must meet USDA commodity specifications, maintain commercial general liability insurance, and comply with state prevailing wage and Buy American requirements where applicable.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITB opportunities for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases each) in May and July 2026 with bids due June 2 and July 31, respectively; the Corrections Department applies a combined 10 percent state-preference score for Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors, with historical pricing around $21.83 per case. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026, requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items and delivery to three school sites. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued two multi-category food and consumables IFBs in May and June 2026 serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, each encompassing applesauce and related canned fruit as line items within broader 200+ item solicitations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education issued a 115-line commodity bid (due June 26, 2026) subject to MBE/CBE certification and Buy American requirements. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026 under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Response dates have largely passed as of October 2026.
