UNSPSC 50371506 Canned or jarred organic bramley apples is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned or jarred apple products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and health and human services agencies. Recent opportunities show this code applies to generic canned applesauce and other processed apple products meeting USDA commodity specifications, often specified as "brand or equal" to permit equivalent substitution. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county boards of commissioners operating senior services and institutional feeding programs.
