UNSPSC 50361534: Canned or jarred golden noble apples

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

UNSPSC 50361534 Canned or jarred golden noble apples is a Commodity code identifying shelf-stable apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and health and human services residential centers. Recent solicitations show demand for both canned applesauce (the dominant product variant in recent postings) and dried apple products, typically purchased in case quantities ranging from hundreds to several thousand cases per order, with delivery to central distribution centers or individual facility locations. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education and commissions (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), city nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Recent activity shows school districts and state corrections and residential-care agencies as the primary buyers under this code.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the South and West. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), with historical pricing around $21.82–$21.84 per case and Oregon-goods preferences available (5% for Oregon fabrication, 5% for Oregon headquarters). Texas agencies including HHSC and the Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ have issued broad food-commodity bids covering canned fruits among dozens of line items. Georgia counties (Gwinnett County informal quote PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026, for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned products; Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties) and Illinois state procurement (weekly food orders for the Veterans Home at Quincy under multiple quarterly cycles) show steady activity. Connecticut and Georgia have also posted recent commodity food bids. Most opportunities are IFBs, IWQs, or ITBs with response cycles of two to four weeks; several state programs (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home) operate on recurring quarterly or annual contract cycles with multiple renewal options. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear in school district and some state solicitations.
