UNSPSC 50561543: Non GMO jersey mac apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561543 Non GMO jersey mac apple purees (Commodity) encompasses canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show demand for both canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) and dried fruit bars or apple crisps, all required to meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA standards, and nutritional compliance under child nutrition and institutional meal programs. The code draws solicitations from a mix of school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and special-purpose education consortia. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County) have posted opportunities under or closely aligned with this category in recent months.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 with bids due July 31, 2026, for 4,760 cases at an estimated $21.84 per case (historical price), requiring FOB destination delivery in five truckloads to Salem with a 10% preference for Oregon goods and vendors. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, with proposals due July 16, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service delivery to the district's central warehouse under Texas Education Code Section 44.031(3), though no budget, set-asides, or evaluation criteria are detailed. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products (including apple-based items) statewide under IFB HHS0017449 with bids due July 11, 2026, covering nine state-supported living centers and state hospitals with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million. School district fresh-produce and prepared-item contracts frequently include apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, sliced apples) as line items within broader grocery or produce solicitations, signaling steady underlying demand. Pricing is typically firm fixed for contract periods ranging from one to three years, with Buy American compliance and USDA commodity specification adherence standard across the board.
