UNSPSC 50361533: Canned or jarred golden delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50361533, Canned or jarred golden delicious apples, is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of shelf-stable prepared-apple products — principally canned applesauce and similarly processed apple items — for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code functioning as a line item within broader food-supply tenders from state corrections departments, county senior services, school districts, and state-supported living centers rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle; buyers are sourcing applesauce alongside dozens of other canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, and staples as part of integrated nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), county boards of education and social services (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education), and state-supported living centers. The code sees repeat activity from Oregon DOC and Illinois state agencies across multiple quarters.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois, Connecticut), with the most recent and largest-value opportunities in Texas and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including applesauce-category items) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas, extended to May 4, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned items, due October 19, 2026. Specifications consistently require USDA commodity compliance, FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, minimum one-year shelf life, and pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis; Oregon DOC applies a combined 10 percent state-of-origin preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders), and Connecticut and Texas school-nutrition procurements invoke Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items.
