UNSPSC 50361567: Canned or jarred pomme d'api apples

The variety of apples known as pomme d'api apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361567 Canned or jarred pomme d'api apples, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement for shelf-stable canned fruit products, primarily applesauce and preserved whole fruits packed in juice or syrup that state agencies, school districts, and corrections departments use for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies procuring canned and processed fruit products—particularly applesauce in bulk cases for correctional facilities and preserved apple products for school nutrition programs—alongside fresh produce and other grocery staples in comprehensive child nutrition and food service contracts.

Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with standout recent opportunities including the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026 (bids due July 31) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to be delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon at an estimated historical price of $21.84 per case, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (proposals due July 11) for food and consumable products including canned goods to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and the Department of State Health Services, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million provided as a guideline. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) all posting food procurement RFPs and IFBs in the past four months that include canned fruit and preserved apple products among broader grocery and produce line items. Corrections departments and state health systems also appear as repeat buyers. Geographic spread spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with Georgia school districts showing particular recent activity. The code sees steady quarterly demand driven by statutory school nutrition requirements and institutional food service cycles tied to fiscal-year and academic-year contract terms.
