UNSPSC 50561545: Non GMO jonagold apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561545 Non GMO jonagold apple purees is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned and processed apple products for food service operations across state and local government agencies. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local governments actually buy a broader mix of canned fruit and apple products—including applesauce, fruit bars, and dried apple crisps—procured by corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and county nutrition programs for inmate and resident feeding, school cafeterias, and senior services. The scope encompasses both branded and generic procurement, with many jurisdictions accepting "or approved equivalent" substitutions and specifying USDA commodity standards for canned fruit, shelf-life requirements, packaging formats, and delivery on FOB destination terms.

Recent activity appears across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases per solicitation) with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case, under ITBs with June and July 2026 closures. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued a comprehensive supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items including apple and fruit products with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia both posted food procurement opportunities in June and October 2026 that included apple varieties and processed fruit items. Austin Independent School District requested RFP proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food-order ITBs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications and August 2026 response dates. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Texas TDCJ also posted broader commodity food procurements including fruit and processed items in May and June 2026.
