UNSPSC 50561544: Non GMO jester apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561544 Non GMO jester apple purees (Commodity) reflects state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products—primarily canned applesauce and dried fruit items—for food service operations across corrections, health and human services, education, and senior services. Recent solicitations show applesauce dominating the buy, with state corrections agencies, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition programs purchasing canned applesauce in bulk cases, along with complementary dried-fruit products such as fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Homes, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), municipal education systems (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and county senior services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services, Georgia). The code sees activity from both stand-alone nutrition procurements and broader food-and-consumables solicitations that bundle applesauce alongside proteins, vegetables, dairy, and supplies.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional recent solicitations from the Upper Midwest and Northeast (Illinois, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, historical award price $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables including applesauce for state hospitals and state-supported living centers across Texas (HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), the Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 35 line items of shelf-stable foods including related items (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026). Oregon applies a combined 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Texas and Connecticut enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Illinois Veterans Homes solicitations use brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications for weekly food orders, while corrections and institutional buyers typically quote pricing per case or per unit on an FOB destination, prepaid basis with firm fixed pricing and delivery windows of 45–60 days after purchase order receipt.
