UNSPSC 50361537: Canned or jarred greening apples

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

UNSPSC 50361537 Canned or jarred greening apples is a Commodity code covering preserved apple products that state and local governments source primarily for institutional food service—school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and other public nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show the code is being procured under broad food commodity RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs where canned applesauce and related preserved apple items appear as line items within larger food supply contracts rather than standalone purchases. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts and state agencies account for the largest share of recent activity; the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHS have posted multiple applesauce and supplemental food solicitations, indicating repeat buying patterns.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Connecticut, with secondary presence in Missouri and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem, Oregon, at a historical price of $21.84 per case with a 10 percent combined Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned fruits to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-period spending of $1.5 million; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, originally due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned foods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. Pricing in these solicitations is firm, fixed, and quoted on a per-unit basis with all transportation and delivery charges prepaid by the contractor on an FOB destination basis. Buy American Act compliance is routinely required for school nutrition procurement in Georgia and Connecticut; Texas HHS applies prevailing wage requirements where applicable. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly identified in recent opportunities, though vendors must maintain general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on the issuing body.
