UNSPSC 50361506: Canned or jarred bramley apples

The variety of apples known as bramley apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361506 Canned or jarred bramley apples, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and jarred apple products—including applesauce in multiple forms—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent opportunities show primary demand for canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with sweetened or unsweetened and smooth or chunky varieties all acceptable. State correctional departments and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Oregon Department of Corrections and school districts across Texas, Georgia, and the broader U.S. appearing repeatedly in recent solicitations. The code sits within a much larger ecosystem of institutional food procurement—dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and bulk grocery items—where apple products represent a specific line item rather than standalone commodity families.

Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, delivered FOB destination in five truck loads to Salem; and a prior ODOC ITB (posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for 1,904 cases at approximately $21.83 per case to the same facility. Both applied Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percentage points combined. The code shows consistent low-dollar, high-volume procurement activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with delivery requirements typically FOB destination and firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods. Insurance requirements are standard—$1 million to $2 million commercial general liability—and shelf-life minimums run one year from delivery. No recent opportunities disclose set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though state and local preferences for domestic sourcing and regional bidders appear regularly in school nutrition and correctional procurement.
