UNSPSC 50361512: Canned or jarred cortland apples

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

UNSPSC 50361512 Canned or jarred cortland apples (Commodity) captures canned applesauce and processed apple products that state and local institutions procure for facility food service, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining. The code sees modest but steady recent activity across state corrections, school districts, and health and human services facilities, with issuing bodies spanning state departments, county school systems, and municipal boards of education. The work being solicited includes canned applesauce in bulk cases (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) meeting USDA commodity specifications for institutional meal programs, processed apple products such as dried apple crisps and apple bars for school food service, and fresh-produce-based procurement bundles that include apples alongside broader fruit and vegetable offerings.

Recent opportunities show the code active in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (5 truckloads of 952 cases each) delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids due July 31, 2026, under a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; historical pricing tracked at $21.84 per case. An earlier Oregon DOC ITB (S2910000016975, May 18, 2026) sought 1,904 cases of canned applesauce with a June 2, 2026 response date and historical pricing of $21.827 per case. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 (June 26, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with proposals due July 16, 2026. School districts—Hancock County in Georgia, Fairfax County in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri—have also posted broad fresh-produce procurements that include apple varieties as line items within larger food-service contracts. Vendor pricing for institutional apple products typically remains firm for the contract period, with FOB destination delivery prepaid by contractor, and awards commonly made on a lowest-responsive-bidder or best-value basis with commodity compliance verification and insurance requirements of $1 million or higher in general liability coverage.
