UNSPSC 50566900 Nominant Non GMO fruit purees is a Class code describing canned and processed fruit products—primarily applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and detention facilities. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus, and specialty items), and eggs through IFB, RFP, and ITB notices. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of corrections and health services, school districts (independent and county-based), county boards of education, and city nutrition services, with school districts representing the dominant and most frequent buyer category across multiple states. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and school systems in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia all posted recent solicitations under this code or overlapping commodity classifications, indicating broad geographic and institutional demand.

School districts dominate recent activity, with Austin Independent School District (RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (dual procurements for grocery NOI and grocery items, both due April 29, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB for Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid for fresh produce, due April 23, 2026) all showing active sourcing. Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (most recent due July 31, 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases at historical price of $21.84 per case). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and its Department of State Health Services issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical contract value guidance of $1.5 million to $4.5 million across renewal periods. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD), Missouri (Rockwood), Virginia (Fairfax County), Oregon (ODOC), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with activity also reported in Illinois state procurement. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations emphasize compliance with Buy American Act provisions (domestic content thresholds typically 51 percent for processed items), USDA commodity specifications, nutritional standards, delivery logistics to multiple school sites or facilities, firm fixed pricing, and insurance coverage minimums of $1 million to $2 million general liability.
