UNSPSC 50561561: Non GMO pacific rose apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561561 Non GMO Pacific Rose Apple Purees, a Commodity code, describes canned and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, principally school nutrition programs and correctional and health-and-human-services facilities. State and local activity under this code spans school districts, state corrections departments, state health authorities, and specialized state-supported living centers, with school nutrition programs emerging as the primary buyer segment. Recent solicitations show demand for canned applesauce, dried apple products, and fresh produce including multiple apple varieties supplied to school cafeterias and institutional kitchens; the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission also regularly solicit canned fruit products in this family. Institutional buyers specify USDA commodity compliance, minimum shelf life (typically one year for canned goods), and require pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis delivered FOB destination with all transportation prepaid. Evaluation favors lowest responsive and responsible bids meeting specification; many jurisdictions reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors and apply state-specific preferences such as Oregon's combined 10 percent preference for in-state fabrication and Oregon-headquartered bidders.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri school districts, with secondary activity from state health and corrections agencies in those and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, closed July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, closed July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, closed March 4, 2026) covering fresh produce including multiple apple varieties across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One; and multiple school nutrition procurements in Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia issuing IFBs and RFPs for fresh and processed fruit products during the first half of 2026. Buy American provisions apply in most school district procurements, requiring domestic agricultural commodity content of at least 51 percent in processed products. General liability insurance requirements typically range from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence.
