UNSPSC 50361543: Canned or jarred jersey mac apples

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

UNSPSC 50361543 Canned or jarred jersey mac apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader preserved-fruit category, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct match—instead, issuing bodies are acquiring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including apples, and mixed food-service commodities. State and local food service buyers—including departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state procurement offices—are the primary soliciting bodies. Canned and jarred apple products appear as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than standalone procurement vehicles, reflecting how institutional food service consolidates produce purchasing into comprehensive grocery or commodity bids.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school districts and state agencies as the dominant issuing bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case to be delivered to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 (revised deadline February 23, 2026) covering 210 food line items including canned goods statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and procurement by Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and multiple other school districts for fresh produce, dried fruit, and mixed grocery items with delivery across the 2026-2027 school year. Institutional food service contracts typically specify USDA compliance, shelf-life minimums of one year or longer, firm fixed pricing, and FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on a best-value basis.
