UNSPSC 50561556: Non GMO mutsu apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561556 Non GMO mutsu apple purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show procurement for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including apples across multiple varieties, and broad food service commodities — none of which are mutsu apple purees specifically, GMO-status or not. The code's nominal scope does not align with the diverse, mainstream food procurement activity appearing in the recent solicitation record. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), cities (Bridgeport), and special-purpose districts (county boards of education and school nutrition programs across multiple states). These are repeat buyers across multiple solicitations throughout the period. Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with substantial recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia school districts.

Representative recent opportunities show the mismatch plainly. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, with prior award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident preference available. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the central warehouse. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026 (with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period), covering food and consumable products including fruits under NIGP categories 385, 390, 380, and 393 for state supported living centers. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) with Buy American domestic-content requirements and delivery to three school locations. The code shows substantial recent activity, but the work solicited is mainstream school and institutional food service procurement, not specialty apple purees, indicating either persistent miscoding or a code with weak relevance to current state and local buying patterns.
