UNSPSC 50561554: Non GMO macoun apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561554 Non-GMO macoun apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and fresh apple products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent opportunities show the code capturing a wider range of apple-based and fruit products than the narrow code name suggests. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and departments managing institutional food service — child nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Dallas ISD, Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Schools, and others) represent the issuing-body mix. Work solicited ranges from canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications (Oregon DOC's ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing) to dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service (Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004) to fresh produce line items including multiple apple varieties alongside other fruits and vegetables (Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027, Liberty County Board of Education IFB for over 400 food items, Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017, and others). School nutrition programs consistently bid fresh produce contracts encompassing apples in multiple cultivars (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz).

Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and other states. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026; ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026), establishing a repeat-buyer pattern for commodity canned fruit. Texas procurements are most active, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing supplemental food and consumable bids (HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026; HHS0016792 due February 23, 2026, later extended) spanning state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posting TDCJ cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF due May 4, 2026). School district activity is distributed across Georgia (Hancock County due June 26, 2026; Liberty County due April 29, 2026; Muscogee County due April 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County due April 23, 2026; Douglas County Schools RFP SN 26-004 due March 4, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District due April 29, 2026 for both NOI and grocery items), Texas (Dallas ISD RFP JC250079 due April 2, 2026), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases due June 26, 2026). Most opportunities are structured as IFB or RFP with firm fixed pricing, Buy American or domestic content requirements, and multi-year initial contract terms with renewal options. The Georgia Douglas County Schools RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce across 30 districts in two areas projects approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two annually, indicating substantial volume under this commodity code.
