UNSPSC 50561568: Non GMO prime gold apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561568 Non GMO prime gold apple purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of apple-based products — applesauces, fruit purees, dried apple products, and apple crisps — for institutional food service operations serving corrections facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The work being solicited ranges from canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications and packed in juice or light syrup, to dried fruit bars and fresh produce items that include apples among broader vegetable and fruit assortments. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, independent school districts, county school boards, state health and human services commissions, and special-purpose food service cooperatives. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts — including Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System — appear as repeat solicitors under this code within the recent activity window. Geographic concentration leans heavily toward the South and Southwest, with substantial activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri; school nutrition programs and state institutional food service drive the volume.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, under OregonBuys with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and a 5% Oregon-headquartered-bidder preference (historical price $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, delivered to the district's central warehouse; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning approximately 72 line items (including multiple apple varieties) for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated Area One spending of $4.4 million and Area Two spending of $1.1 million, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American requirements appear consistently across school nutrition procurements (requiring 51% domestic content for processed products), and pricing is typically firm fixed or subject only to documented manufacturer price increases or indexed adjustments; most contracts run 12 months with renewal options spanning two to five years. This code reflects active institutional food service procurement with relatively short sales cycles, frequent competitive re-bids, and substantial volume through cooperative purchasing vehicles and school district consortia.
