UNSPSC 50561542 Non GMO James Grieve apple purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and veterans' homes.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), city departments (City of Bridgeport Connecticut), and state-supported facility operators (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). These jurisdictions source apple products as part of multi-item food supply contracts serving institutional kitchens and nutrition programs that operate year-round.
