UNSPSC 50561562 Non GMO paula red apple purees, a Commodity code, describes purees and processed apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state health institutions. Recent solicitations show a mix of whole fresh produce buys and processed fruit items, with purees specifically appearing as part of broader food commodity procurements rather than as standalone line items in the available opportunities. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state correctional systems, reflecting the code's use across K–12 nutrition, higher-education dining, state hospital food service, and corrections food supply.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on the recent opportunities posted. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ line items of fresh and processed fruits); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales). Most procurements operate on annual or multi-year contracts with firm-fixed pricing, Buy American requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), and delivery to central distribution centers or school nutrition facilities on FOB destination terms. The code shows steady activity in institutional food purchasing, with opportunities appearing monthly across spring and summer 2026.
