UNSPSC 50361564: Canned or jarred pink lady apples

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

UNSPSC 50361564 Canned or jarred pink lady apples is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products, though recent solicitations show the code's practical scope spans broader canned fruit categories including applesauce, pears, and mixed canned fruits rather than pink lady apples specifically. State and local governments procure these items primarily for food service operations—correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and institutional dining—where shelf-stable, portion-controlled canned fruit meets cost and operational requirements. Issuing bodies range widely: state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), and county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Muscogee County School District). School districts and state health agencies are repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations from Texas HHS and Oregon DOC appearing across recent postings.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest—Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts), and Oregon (Department of Corrections)—with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. 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 approximately $21.84 per case, delivered to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other DSHS facilities; and the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. Buy American preferences and domestic-content requirements appear consistently across school district solicitations; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Contracts typically run one to three years with firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, and payment Net 30 to Net 45 days post-delivery.
