UNSPSC 50361570: Canned or jarred red boscoop apples

The variety of apples known as red boscoop apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50361570 Canned or jarred red boscoop apples (Commodity) describes canned fruit products state and local governments buy for food service operations, including correctional facilities, schools, health and human services agencies, and institutional cafeterias. The recent opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring canned applesauce (which falls under the broader canned-fruit category that encompasses red boscoop apples), dried fruit bars, and similar shelf-stable fruit products as components of larger food-service procurement bundles. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county school boards, and municipal procurement offices. The mix reflects institutional food service demand—prisons, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and central warehouses supplying multiple facility locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with the most recent and substantial opportunities posted in June and July 2026. Representative recent solicitations 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 delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem at historical pricing of $21.84 per case, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned fruit to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services with an estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million. School districts pursuing broader grocery and fresh-produce contracts frequently bundle canned fruit items alongside fresh produce—Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323, April 2026) and multiple Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County) have posted fresh-produce solicitations that reference complementary canned-fruit buys. Buy American and domestic-preference provisions appear consistently across school and institutional food buys, and pricing typically remains firm for one year with potential midterm adjustments tied to commodity-price indices or manufacturer increases exceeding 5 percent.
