UNSPSC 50361520: Canned or jarred earligold apples

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

UNSPSC 50361520 Canned or jarred earligold apples, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of processed apple products—primarily applesauce and apple-based prepared foods—for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show state correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies sourcing canned applesauce, apple crisps, and dried fruit bars containing apple ingredients, often as components of broader food supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, county school boards, independent school districts, state health and human services agencies, and municipal boards of education. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple solicitations for canned applesauce, indicating a recurring institutional buyer; school districts across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia are active in the category via grocery and food service procurement. Most opportunities are structured as demand-driven standing contracts with firm pricing, delivered either to centralized warehouse distribution points or directly to school sites.

Geographic activity centers on the South and Southeast—Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee County) and Texas health and human services facilities dominate recent postings—alongside Midwest (Missouri school districts), Northeast (Connecticut), and Pacific Northwest activity (Oregon corrections). Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a due date of July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10% Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and delivery to Salem's Central Distribution Center. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million covers applesauce and canned fruit for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide. Buy American provisions, USDA commodity compliance, and firm fixed pricing structured on per-case or per-unit bases are standard across opportunities; school district contracts typically favor multiple vendor awards by line item and include renewal options spanning three to five years.
