UNSPSC 50361507: Canned or jarred bramley seedling apples

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

UNSPSC 50361507 Canned or jarred bramley seedling apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products, particularly applesauce and other preserved fruit for institutional food service—though recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied to a broader range of canned and preserved fruit purchases than the narrow code name suggests. State and local governments buy canned applesauce, canned pears, and similar shelf-stable fruit products primarily for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school district nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are a mix of state correctional departments, state health and human services commissions, school districts (independent and county-level), and regional school nutrition cooperatives. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers under this code.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) deliverable to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids due July 31, 2026, and a historical price of $21.84 per case; the same agency posted an earlier ITB on May 18, 2026, for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce with a June 2, 2026, deadline and historical pricing of $21.827 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 (extended to February 23, 2026, response deadline) and HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026, response deadline) covering supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items including canned goods and frozen specialty foods with an estimated maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years for the earlier solicitation and $1.5 million for the prior period under HHS0017449. School districts and cooperatives—including Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004, July 16, 2026, deadline), Rockwood School District in Missouri (April 29, 2026, deadlines for multiple grocery procurements), and the Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, March 4, 2026, deadline, covering 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending across two geographic areas)—are also active buyers. Buy American and domestic-content requirements are standard across these solicitations, and pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract period with limited mid-term adjustment allowances. State and local governments apply Oregon resident preferences and cost-based evaluation methodologies, with awards commonly made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on a best-value basis.
