UNSPSC 50361529: Canned or jarred ginger gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50361529 Canned or jarred ginger gold apples, Commodity, represents a narrow product category that state and local governments actually procure as part of broader food service contracts spanning canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and fresh produce for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The solicitations under this code show agencies buying canned and jarred fruit products as components of multi-category food service procurement, not as standalone line items. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and various school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, and others) are active buyers. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county and independent school districts, and school system cooperative purchasing groups. Recent procurement activity shows canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce solicitations posted between February and July 2026 across ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types. Pricing in the most recent comparable opportunity—Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date)—was quoted at $21.84 per case for canned applesauce, with delivery on an FOB destination basis.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent applesauce procurements (May and July 2026). Texas agencies—HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD—represent significant ongoing demand. Georgia school systems (Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System) issued fresh produce and food service contracts between February and June 2026. The Commodity code shows limited distinct market isolation; state and local buyers group canned fruits, applesauce, and dried fruit into multi-line-item food service contracts rather than procuring the specific product category as a standalone. Qualification thresholds include general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence standard), Buy American compliance for processed products (51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), USDA commodity specification compliance, food safety certifications (HACCP plans, debarment verification, E-Verify authorization), and firm fixed pricing with delivery FOB destination prepaid by vendor. No set-asides or incumbent vendors are consistently identified across these opportunities.
