UNSPSC 50361514: Canned or jarred court pendu plat apples

The variety of apples known as court pendu plat apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361514 Canned or jarred court pendu plat apples is a Commodity code used by state and local food service programs to procure shelf-stable apple products—primarily applesauce in canned form—for institutional feeding. The work being solicited is straightforward: purchasing dried, canned, or processed apple products for delivery to nutrition centers, schools, senior services, corrections facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show school districts, state departments of corrections, county boards of education, state health agencies, and city nutrition programs issuing IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs for canned applesauce, apple crisps, and related fruit items as components of larger food-service commodity buys. The code sees use across a mix of issuing bodies—from large institutional food-service operations (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, state hospitals and supported living centers) to smaller county and municipal school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut).

Geographic activity is distributed across the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Oregon, Illinois, and Mississippi. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two applesauce ITBs within the past six months (S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026, each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.83–$21.84 per case), establishing a consistent procurement cycle. Other representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties alongside other produce; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with estimated value $1.5 million annually) covering food and consumable products for state supported living centers; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal quote request (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products. Buy American provisions and domestic-preference percentages appear in school nutrition procurements; Oregon preferences for in-state goods and bidders appear in ODOC solicitations; and Texas SmartBuy administrative fees (1.5 percent) apply in TDCJ food procurements.
