UNSPSC 50566936: Non GMO star apple purees

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

UNSPSC 50566936 Non GMO star apple purees is a Commodity code that names a specific processed-fruit product line, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not center on star apple purees. Instead, they reflect a broader pattern of state and local food-service procurement for applesauce, dried fruit products, and general fresh and processed produce for institutional kitchens — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for TDCJ), county school boards and independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Food-service procurement under related codes appears to be routine and recurring, with multiple quarterly and annual contract cycles visible in the activity block.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in the South and Southwest, particularly Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900–4,700 cases per cycle, historical pricing near $21.83 per case), with the most recent bid due June 2, 2026, and an earlier cycle due July 31, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Comptroller issued large-scale IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (210+ line items, potential value $4.5 million over three years) and cafeteria food products for TDCJ (382 line items across five distribution areas), with the TDCJ bid response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (response due October 19, 2026), and Hancock County Schools issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport and State of Illinois each issued food-commodity bids for school nutrition and veterans home operations. The code shows little recent activity specific to star apple purees; procurement under this UNSPSC classification appears misaligned with the actual goods being solicited.
