UNSPSC 50561589: Non GMO tydeman red apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561589 Non GMO Tydeman red apple purees (Commodity) spans state and local procurement of apple purees and related canned fruit applesauce products, representing a narrow slice of institutional food service supply. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and supplemental food items—often grouped under broader grocery or food supply categories where apple-based products appear as one line item among many. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county school systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County). School districts dominate the recent activity, purchasing food products for child nutrition programs on annual contracts with July through June performance periods. State correctional and health facilities also purchase canned applesauce regularly, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two recent ITBs (S2910000017453 posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026; and S2910000016975 posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases of canned applesauce at historical pricing near $21.84 per case, delivered FOB to central distribution centers.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia school districts including Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections with repeat procurements). Texas agencies and school districts (HHSC, Dallas ISD, Texas TDCJ) also show consistent procurement of food products in the broader apple and fruit category. The code sees modest transaction volume compared to larger food service categories; however, school nutrition programs and state institutional food services generate recurring, predictable demand on annual cycles. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, ITB, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products including produce and processed items, prior-period value $1.5 million, IFB, proposals due July 13, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 with 76-item minimum bid requirement, IFB, bids due April 27, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 (fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026).
