UNSPSC 50361559: Canned or jarred orleans reinette apples

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

UNSPSC 50361559 Canned or jarred Orleans Reinette apples, a Commodity code, covers canned and jarred apple products purchased by state and local governments for food service operations, including school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring canned applesauce and processed apple products as components of broader food service procurement, with the products specified to meet USDA commodity standards and delivered to central distribution centers or institutional food service locations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state-level agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County), and independent school districts (Austin Independent School District), alongside municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). While the code name specifies Orleans Reinette apples, the recent opportunities reflect demand for general canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications and packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with no brand-specific requirement for Orleans Reinette varieties in the current solicitation activity.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West Coast. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce—ITB S-29100-00017453 (bids due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, and ITB S-29100-00016975 (bids due June 2, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases at a historical price of $21.827 per case—with five percent preferences for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders applied to both. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 (bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties as part of its school nutrition procurement, with Buy American requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content. The State of Illinois issued quarterly weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific (27497DVAQUINCB53752, due August 24, 2026) and brand-or-equal variants (27497DVAQUINCB53751), reflecting recurring demand for institutional food service. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (proposals due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center at a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior fiscal year. The code shows modest but steady activity across multiple states and issuing-body types, with no single dominant buyer but consistent quarterly or annual renewal cycles typical of institutional food service procurement.
