UNSPSC 50361511: Canned or jarred codlin apples

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

UNSPSC 50361511 Canned or jarred codlin apples (Commodity) is a narrow food-service code where state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned apple products — typically applesauce in bulk cases — as part of broader food and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that the code does not drive standalone procurements; instead, canned apple products appear as line items within larger food-service RFPs and IFBs spanning dozens or hundreds of commodity categories. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice both solicit canned applesauce on recurring cycles as components of institutional food supply contracts. State, county, and school-district food programs use the code to buy shelf-stable apple products for cafeterias, senior centers, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and nutrition programs; vendors compete on per-unit or per-case pricing with delivery on FOB destination terms and firm fixed pricing locked for the contract period. Buy American provisions and domestic-content minimums (typically 51 percent for processed goods) appear in school-district and state-agency procurement templates.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and West, with the most recent opportunities spanning Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB in July 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) at a historical bid price of $21.84 per case, and a second ODOC ITB in May 2026 for 1,904 cases (ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026) at $21.827 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned products for its Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh and processed produce for school nutrition including apple varieties (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). The State of Illinois and Texas HHSC issued recurring brand-specific and brand-or-equal food-service RFPs covering weekly and quarterly institutional food supply where canned apple products may appear as eligible substitutes. Canned applesauce procurement is episodic rather than continuous; solicitations cluster around institutional food-service contract renewals and do not show quarterly or monthly frequency at individual agencies.
