UNSPSC 50561571: Non GMO red chief apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561571 Non GMO red chief apple purees is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block reveals that state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring a much broader range of processed and fresh fruit products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, and shelf-stable food items for institutional food service. School districts, state corrections and health agencies, county nutrition programs, and municipal boards of education are the primary issuing bodies. Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois have issued multiple recent food procurement notices. The work spans cafeteria supply for detention facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers, with delivery to central distribution points or multiple school sites and F.O.B. destination pricing standard across all solicitations.
