UNSPSC 50561549: Non GMO kidd's orange red apple purees

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO kidd's orange red apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561549 Non GMO kidd's orange red apple purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional institutions as canned applesauce and processed apple products rather than as the specific varietal specified in the code name. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring applesauce for inmate and student meal service, often with minimal specification of apple type beyond USDA commodity grade and packaging format. The work spans both canned whole-fruit applesauce for institutional bulk delivery and dried apple products—including apple crisps, apple bars, and fresh-cut apple portions—incorporated into school meal components and snack offerings. Issuing bodies include independent school districts of varying sizes (Fairfax County and Dallas ISD in major metropolitan areas; smaller systems such as Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County in regional markets), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal school nutrition operations (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education). The code sees frequent activity across school nutrition procurement, where apple products appear as line items within broader grocery, produce, and commodity food solicitations rather than as standalone contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in three regions: the Southeast (Georgia school districts including Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County all posting fresh produce and food RFPs with apple specifications between February and June 2026), Texas (Dallas ISD RFP for specialty food products with apple derivatives and Texas HHSC/TDCJ bulk food procurements in February through June 2026), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections posting two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications) due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing of $21.84 per case and 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products including applesauce and apple-based items for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and Dallas ISD RFP JC250079 for various food products including apple-derived items for the 2026–2027 school year, due April 2, 2026. School district contracts typically demand firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed items), and adherence to nutritional standards restricting artificial colors and high-fructose corn syrup per state legislation.
