UNSPSC 50361530: Canned or jarred gladstone apples

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

UNSPSC 50361530 Canned or jarred gladstone apples, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred apple products—including applesauce in multiple styles (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky)—that state and local governments procure for institutional food service at correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state supported living centers, senior services, and school districts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as one line item within larger food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle; the work is framed as commodity food sourcing on a volume and delivery basis, with pricing quoted per case or per unit and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards as standard requirements.

Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county board of education nutrition programs, school districts, and municipal school nutrition centers. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois (at the Veterans Home at Quincy) appear as repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities window. Recent activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with supporting activity in Illinois and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453, posted July 10, 2026, soliciting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce for delivery in five truckloads to Salem (historical award price $21.84 per case, with bids due July 31, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB53752 for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, posted August 19, 2026, with proposals due August 24, 2026, under brand-or-equal specification; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782, posted October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products, quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia by December 7, 2026.
