UNSPSC 50361515: Canned or jarred cox's orange pippin apples

The variety of apples known as cox's orange pippin apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361515 Canned or jarred Cox's Orange Pippin apples is a Commodity code that describes canned and jarred apple products state and local governments procure as shelf-stable food items for nutrition services, state institutions, and food assistance programs. Recent activity shows this code encompasses not only the nominal Cox's variety but a broader range of canned and jarred apple products, including applesauce (sweetened and unsweetened, smooth and chunky), dried apple crisps, and apple-based components within mixed food commodity buys. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, city boards of education, and independent school districts. The work spans multi-item food commodity procurements where apples and apple products are line items within larger shelf-stable food or produce buys, as well as single-commodity solicitations focused on applesauce alone. Issuing bodies are typically food service or nutrition programs serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, seniors programs, and school nutrition operations.
