UNSPSC 50561572: Non GMO red delicious apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561572 Non GMO red delicious apple purees (Commodity) covers processed apple products—primarily canned applesauce and dried/shelf-stable apple products—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, senior services, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, applesauce in bulk for cafeteria operations, and dried fruit bars containing apples. The code sees activity from state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, independent school districts, county social services departments, and municipal boards of education. Purchasing offices issue informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (ITB and IFB), and requests for proposals (RFP) for single-year and multi-year supply contracts. Products must typically meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable (51 percent domestic content for processed items), and minimum shelf-life requirements. Delivery is F.O.B. destination with price quotes per unit, case, or pound; awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder unless best-value evaluation is specified.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026) requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases for delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference applied. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted an informal written quote in October 2026 (due October 19) for shelf-stable food items including applesauce as part of a 35-line-item procurement for the Department of Community Services. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026). Austin Independent School District (Texas) solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP (due July 16, 2026) for warehouse delivery. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) and Texas Health and Human Services Commission both issued comprehensive commodity bids covering fruit and vegetable products under Buy American rules. Activity is steady but dispersed across institutional food service categories; no single state or jurisdiction dominates the code.
