UNSPSC 50361589: Canned or jarred tydeman red apples

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

UNSPSC 50361589 Canned or jarred Tydeman red apples (Commodity) covers canned and jarred apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and correctional facilities. The code sees active solicitation across school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies purchasing canned applesauce, apple crisps, dried fruit bars containing apples, and fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for food service operations. Recent opportunities show purchasing bodies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Dallas Independent School District, and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut. These jurisdictions span state corrections, school nutrition programs, state healthcare facilities, and institutional food service operations across multiple regions. The sourcing patterns reflect both direct commodity purchasing for storage and distribution and integrated food service procurement under larger grocery and fresh produce contracts.

Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce for delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon, with historical pricing of $21.84 per case and a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-vendor preference applied. Recent activity also includes Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce covering multiple apple varieties for 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items including Fuji apples at quantities up to 21,125 cases annually (due April 23, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce across 30 school districts in Georgia with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide, serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, reflects the scale of institutional apple and apple-product sourcing at the state level. Geographic concentration appears highest in Georgia school districts and across Texas institutional food service, with significant secondary activity in Oregon corrections, Virginia and Missouri school districts, Connecticut, Illinois state procurement, and Texas school districts.
