UNSPSC 50561548: Non GMO katy apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561548 Non GMO katy apple purees (Commodity) captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable applesauce and apple-based products, though recent sourcing shows broader fruit processing and food service supply work spanning multiple states and issuing bodies. The code sees activity from state corrections departments, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and local boards of education, with purchases typically embedded in larger food service contracts rather than standalone applesauce procurements. Work involves canned fruit specifications compliance with USDA commodity standards, FOB destination delivery, temperature and shelf-life requirements, and firm fixed pricing quoted per unit or case basis. Issuing bodies specify compliance with FDA/USDA standards, Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed goods), HACCP and food recall accessibility, general liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), and E-Verify authorization.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Oregon. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and prior ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical prices near $21.84 per case, with 5% state-of-origin preferences applied. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million annually) and prior IFB HHS0016792 (maximum three-year value $4.5 million). School districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham), and Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and grocery items that include apple varieties and processed fruit products as line items within larger nutrition contracts. Georgia Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce across 30 districts spanning two geographic areas shows estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows steady multi-state demand but limited sole-source applesauce opportunities; most activity occurs as component purchases within broader food service tenders rather than category-specific apple puree solicitations.
