UNSPSC 50561560: Non GMO ozark gold apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561560 Non GMO Ozark Gold apple purees, a Commodity code, represents the procurement of specialty apple products—specifically branded or origin-designated purees and processed apple items—for institutional food service by state and local education and corrections agencies. State and local government buyers under this code span school districts (from single-district to multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles), state corrections departments, and state health and human services facilities. The work solicited includes canned applesauce, dried apple products, fresh produce containing apples, and apple-based ready-to-eat items delivered to central warehouses and school nutrition centers, with emphasis on compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions, and adherence to nutritional and ingredient standards set by state education codes and federal child nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Oregon Department of Corrections posting two invitations to bid for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026, both specifying USDA 2011 commodity specifications and FOB destination delivery to Salem); Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); and multiple Georgia school districts—Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County—issuing bids and RFPs for fresh produce line items that include multiple apple varieties and processed apple products as components of broader school nutrition procurement spanning July 2026 through June 2027. Oregon and Georgia appear as repeat issuing bodies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts) expand the reach of individual solicitations. The code shows moderate procurement velocity across institutional food service, with awards typically made on lowest responsive/responsible or best-value bases and pricing frequently pegged to USDA market reporting or historical bid prices ($21.84 per case for applesauce in Oregon as of June 2026).
