UNSPSC 50361546 Canned or jarred jonamac apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local food procurement for canned and jarred apple products, typically sourced through informal quotes and formal competitive bids for institutional food service operations. The code sees activity primarily in school districts, state departments, and county health and human services agencies procuring shelf-stable food items for cafeterias, nutrition centers, senior services, and corrections facilities. Scope ranges from small supplemental orders of a few cases to larger multi-truckload annual contracts; recent solicitations frame the work as part of broader food-service categories that include fresh and processed fruits, vegetables, proteins, and consumables delivered under firm fixed pricing on FOB destination terms with delivery windows measured in days to weeks. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, state procurement offices managing food supply for multiple facilities, county boards of education and county departments of community services, independent school districts, and municipal departments of public purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office appear as repeat buyers in recent quarterly solicitations; Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice round out the recent issuing-body roster.
