UNSPSC 50361539: Canned or jarred honeycrisp apples

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

UNSPSC 50361539 Canned or jarred honeycrisp apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products, though recent opportunities show the code being applied more broadly to canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed-produce food service contracts rather than honeycrisp apples specifically. State and local governments use this code to source shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service—prisons, schools, state facilities, and municipal nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal education systems (Dallas ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, reflecting sustained demand for commodity fruit in meal service across K-12 districts of varying size.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing of $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including fruit items for state supported living centers (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (21,125 cases of Fuji apples estimated annually, due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions and domestic-content preferences appear consistently across school district procurements, and pricing typically locks firm for 12-month contract periods with volume-based awards to single or multiple vendors. Activity remains steady through mid-2026 with no signs of contraction.
