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, a Commodity code, represents a narrow slice of state and local food procurement that encompasses shelf-stable canned apple products — specifically applesauce, apple crisps, and dried apple preparations — sourced for institutional food service, senior nutrition programs, and correctional facility dining. Recent opportunities under this code show state and local issuing bodies purchasing canned applesauce and related apple products as components of broader food-supply contracts rather than standalone procurements. The work involves specification compliance (USDA commodity standards, shelf life, packaging), FOB destination delivery to centralized distribution points, and coordination with food-service operations. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state correctional and supported-living facilities. State-level agencies and school nutrition programs dominate the recent activity.

Geographic concentration centers on the Pacific Northwest, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two recent ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), each soliciting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases at historical unit prices near $21.84 per case, with a five percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference applied. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (posted June through August 2026) that include branded and brand-or-equal food items. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) encompassing processed fruits. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Activity is episodic and tied to school-year contracting cycles and facility food-service renewals; no single dominant buyer pattern emerges in the recent record.
