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, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable fruit purees and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code encompassing a broader scope than the nominal "macoun" variety alone: state and local buyers are sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, all flagged under this code or related fruit-product categories. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state correctional and health agencies, independent school districts, county senior services departments, municipal school boards, and state health and human services commissions. Buyers recur across multiple quarters — the State of Illinois has posted repeated weekly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple applesauce ITBs; and Texas state agencies (HHSC, DSHS, TDCJ) procure food commodities on rolling schedules. The activity reflects steady, predictable demand from institutional food service operations with quarterly or annual contract cycles.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with additional activity in Ohio. Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned proteins and produce delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food-order proposals for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (five truckloads) to Salem with bids due July 31, 2026, offering combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences of up to 10 percent; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, proposals due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year, bids due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, bids due July 13, 2026, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear in school nutrition and state agency solicitations; Texas and Oregon buyers apply local-vendor or state-fabrication preferences in the 5–10 percent range.
