UNSPSC 50361577 Canned or jarred reinette apples is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products, predominantly applesauce and fresh produce for food service operations across correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring canned applesauce in multi-case volumes for institutional feeding programs, along with dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce items including multiple apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia) delivered to schools and state facilities. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, independent school districts of varying sizes (from small rural systems to large urban districts), county boards of education, state health and human services commissions, and food service nutrition programs serving both K-12 students and residents of state-supported living centers. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Austin Independent School District represent repeat or significant buyers under related procurement activity. Work involves supplying canned fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications with firm, fixed unit pricing delivered FOB destination on palletized loads; fresh produce procurement requires delivery to multiple school sites with weekly or scheduled delivery windows, compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plans, and e-Verify authorization.
