UNSPSC 50561555: Non GMO mcintosh apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561555 Non GMO McIntosh apple purees, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable fruit purees and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both branded apple-based commodities (applesauce, dried apple crisps, apple purees) and broader food-service categories where apple products are line items within larger produce or consumables contracts. Issuing bodies span school districts, state corrections and health agencies, county nutrition programs, and municipal education departments. The work is straightforward commodity supply — vendors respond to specifications for canned or processed apple products, often with brand-or-equal options permitted, and compete on price and delivery terms under firm-fixed-price structures.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, multiple quarters), Oregon (Department of Corrections, two separate ITBs for applesauce), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice since May 2026 (ITBs S2910000016975 and S2910000017453, both closing in June and July with historical pricing near $21.83 per case). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including apple-based products due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229), while Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026 (RFP 27RFP004). Broader food-service ITBs and IFBs from state departments in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut incorporate apple products as line items within multi-category consumables procurements, typically with 51 percent domestic-content Buy American requirements for processed products and delivery to central warehouses or multiple distribution sites on FOB destination terms.
