I've looked around and done a search, but have not received a satisfactory answer. Are 90 hours of completed undergrad coursework required by D.O. schools to apply?

Have you read the CIB ("DO version of the MSAR" in my signature)?

I have read through it (though not in its entirety), but am not finding the information for which I'm looking. I do understand that a bachelor's degree is required upon entering medical school, but I'm asking specifically about when to apply, and if I need 90 hours to do so. Thank you very much for your help.

I think you should just plan on having your degree finished when you matriculate. Other than that, having as many of the pre reqs done when you apply (and upper levels will help you even more) as possible is a good idea.

I searched for "90" in the CIB and have no reason to believe you need a specific number of hours before you apply. "90" shows up a couple of times as the minimum requirement for entering a few schools (no degree required), but this is very rare.
