UNSPSC 50361518: Canned or jarred delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50361518 Canned or jarred delicious apples, a Commodity code, encompasses preserved apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and other public kitchens. Recent solicitations show governments purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars with apple components, and fresh apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia) through produce and food-service procurement channels, though the code's nominal scope suggests preserved apples specifically while recent activity leans heavily toward fresh produce and applesauce. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), county boards of education (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Hancock County, Douglas County), and municipal education procurement (City of Bridgeport's Board of Education). School districts account for the majority of solicitations, with institutional food service representing the dominant use case.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and extends across Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with the most recent and densest cluster in Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies. Representative current opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District requesting proposals under RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties totaling over 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and state-supported living centers, Douglas County School System as a multi-district cooperative buyer, and Fairfax County Public Schools represent standout repeat buyers across multiple food-service solicitations. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear frequently, with states enforcing 51-percent-domestic-ingredient minimums for processed products and preferences for state-fabricated or state-headquartered vendors (Oregon applies a combined 10-percent preference). Pricing is predominantly firm-fixed with delivery FOB destination and no fuel surcharges permitted; contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, and payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days post-delivery and inspection.
