UNSPSC 50367029: Canned or jarred rose apples

The type of fruit known as rose apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50367029 Canned or jarred rose apples (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for canned or jarred rose apples; instead, the code appears in procurement records for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad food-service commodity categories that span processed and fresh items well outside the scope of a single specialty product. State and local governments—primarily school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies—are buying food products of many types under codes proximate to this one, but the specific commodity of canned or jarred rose apples shows no recent activity.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code tier are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Austin Independent School District in Texas; Dallas Independent School District in Texas; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center in Connecticut), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia; State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); and the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodity bid BNB053266 covering 115 line items with Buy American compliance required (due June 26, 2026). The code shows extensive recent procurement activity, but the mismatch between the nominal commodity—canned or jarred rose apples—and the actual work being bought warrants investigation into whether this code assignment reflects a data-entry error or a genuine (and unusual) state and local sourcing pattern.
