UNSPSC 50561552: Non GMO laxton apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561552 Non GMO Laxton Apple Purees is a Commodity code capturing canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and state facility cafeterias. State and local buyers—school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and independent school systems—source applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce including apples through this code. The work involves supplying USDA-compliant canned fruit products packed in juice, water, or light syrup; fresh produce in multiple apple varieties; and processed apple items for meal service delivery. Issuing bodies span K-12 school districts of varying sizes, state corrections and health departments, and county school systems, with repeat activity from Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple Texas school districts and state agencies.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest, with notable activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two canned applesauce ITBs (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 cases at approximately $21.84 per case; and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases) reflecting ongoing institutional demand. School districts dominate the volume: Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce including multiple apple varieties under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, specifying over 200 produce line items for a July 2026 start; and Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement through GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covered fresh produce including apples across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas. State health and corrections agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office) also source food and produce items under this code, with contract values reaching $1.5 million to $9 million annually depending on facility population and scope.
