UNSPSC 50561595: Non GMO worcester apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50561595 Non GMO worcester apple purees is a Commodity code that captures canned and shelf-stable apple products procured by state and local food service operations. State and local governments under this code buy canned applesauce—sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, or chunky—meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with minimum one-year shelf life. The solicitations show food service operators in corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services using the code for bulk applesauce procurement, typically quoted per case with delivery FOB destination and fuel charges prepaid by contractor. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and departments of corrections at the state level; recent activity shows the Oregon Department of Corrections and multiple independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, and county boards of education in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas) soliciting applesauce or broader fruit categories as part of annual food service contracts spanning K-12 nutrition programs and state institutional feeding. Canned fruit applesauce appears in larger grocery or commodity food procurements alongside proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than as a standalone category.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 cases with historical pricing at $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales; and earlier ITB S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, for 1,904 cases at prior pricing of $21.827 per case). School nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia appear as secondary buyers within broader food procurement RFPs and IFBs—notably Dallas ISD (RFP JC250079, April 2, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP 26-003, February 18, 2026)—though these solicitations do not isolate applesauce pricing or volume. Oregon's Department of Corrections shows repeat activity under the code; the Oregon purchases apply 5 percent state-of-origin preference for goods fabricated or processed entirely within Oregon and 5 percent preference for Oregon-headquartered bidders, totaling a combined 10 percent price preference. School district procurements typically enforce Buy American Act requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products) and require delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with delivery included. Applesauce procurement activity is steady but modest in scope relative to broader food service contracts; Oregon ODOC remains the highest-volume recent buyer named under this code.
