UNSPSC 50561578 Non GMO Rome Beauty apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and shelf-stable apple products that state and local governments procure for food service operations serving vulnerable populations — primarily corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services, and veterans homes. The scope spans canned applesauce (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, or chunky varieties), apple crisps, and dried fruit bars that meet USDA commodity specifications and carry minimum one-year shelf life from delivery. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), city and independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Homes, Texas state-supported living centers, state hospitals). The mix reflects institutional procurement across corrections, human services, education, and veteran-support infrastructure.
