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, a Commodity code, covers preserved whole or processed apple products in sealed containers—specifically canned applesauce, apple crisps, and similar shelf-stable apple preparations that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies. The code sees procurement activity across multiple issuing-body types: state departments of corrections, independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, county school boards, and city/county nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show Oregon Department of Corrections seeking canned applesauce under ITB with 4,760 cases due by July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District requesting dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP with response date July 16, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office calling for quarterly weekly food orders with brand-specific requirements due June 17, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice both issued food solicitations encompassing canned and processed fruits as line items within broader commodity procurements. School districts dominate the recent activity—Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District all posted fresh produce and food service bids between January and June 2026, many covering apple varieties and processed apple products.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Missouri (Rockwood), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), alongside activity in Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Illinois (state CPO). School nutrition contracts dominate the code's recent activity and typically run for one fiscal or calendar year (July through June or September through August) with evaluation on lowest responsive bid or best value, firm fixed pricing including delivery, and Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural commodity content. The Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce solicitation (ITB S-29100-00017453, response due July 31, 2026) and the May 2026 applesauce solicitation (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) both named historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case and offered Oregon preference credits totaling up to 10%. School district food service procurements typically require HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, E-Verify authorization, and general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence. Contract values vary widely: Douglas County School System's fresh produce RFP estimated $5.5 million annually across two geographic areas; Texas HHSC supplemental food procurements carried maximum potential values of $4.5 million over three years; and TDCJ cafeteria food products procurement served multiple distribution points with firm fixed pricing and no disclosed budget ceiling. Most school and institutional food service contracts include renewal options ranging from one to four years and are evaluated on price, vendor performance history, product quality, and compliance with nutritional standards and brand-preference lists.
