UNSPSC 50361532: Canned or jarred gold supreme apples

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

UNSPSC 50361532 Canned or jarred gold supreme apples is a Commodity code describing preserved whole or sliced apples in shelf-stable packaging for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement under this code shows activity focused more broadly on canned fruit products and comprehensive food procurement for public institutions rather than the specific apple varietal named. State and local governments buying under this code include corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference available. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods across 23 statewide facilities (IFB HHS0016792, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought commodity goods including fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable).

Recent activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and Georgia each issuing multiple food procurement opportunities in the past four months. School districts represent the dominant institutional buyer, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all soliciting food products for 2026–2027 school years under IFB or RFP structures; most require firm fixed pricing for the contract year, weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple school sites, Buy American compliance, and USDA nutritional standards. Institutional non-school buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Connecticut Department of Public Education, typically requiring larger volumes, longer contract terms with renewal options, and compliance with specific agency inventory and delivery protocols. Bidders across all jurisdictions must maintain commercial general liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence), comply with state and federal food safety standards, provide proof of business standing, and submit pricing through electronic procurement portals (OpenGov, Bonfire, OregonBuys, or email). No activity visible under this code shows tight geographic or issuing-body concentration—opportunity flow is steady across multiple states and institution types, suggesting stable demand for food commodity suppliers with scale and established logistics infrastructure.
