UNSPSC 50371504: Canned or jarred organic baldwin apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic baldwin apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50371504 Canned or jarred organic Baldwin apples is a Commodity code representing preserved apple products that state and local government food service operations procure for institutional meal service, though recent solicitations show the code capturing broader canned fruit procurement than the nominal code scope alone suggests. State and local buyers under this code span school districts, state correctional and health facilities, and municipal nutrition programs across multiple states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two competitive solicitations for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), each requesting roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases with delivery to central distribution centers in Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple invitations for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with canned and processed fruit items embedded in broader 200+ line-item food procurement; and school districts in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia have posted contemporaneous food service bids encompassing fresh and processed fruits alongside other commodities. Issuing bodies cluster heavily in school nutrition programs, particularly independent and county-level districts, alongside state corrections departments and state health and human services agencies operating institutional food services.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with standout repeat buyers in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce solicitations as recurring demand; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued multiple food and consumables bids encompassing preserved fruit categories; and Georgia school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) have posted fresh produce and commodity food bids across consecutive months.
