UNSPSC 50371509: Canned or jarred organic cameo apples

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

UNSPSC 50371509 Canned or jarred organic cameo apples is a Commodity code naming a specific product line within food procurement — canned or jarred organic apple products — though recent state and local solicitations show the code being applied broadly to general shelf-stable food purchases and fresh produce contracts rather than exclusively to this specific item. State and local governments deploy the code when soliciting packaged food staples for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city boards of education, county purchasing offices, and state procurement divisions. The work typically involves competitive bidding for canned and jarred foods, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and complementary food service items under fixed-price firm bids; recent opportunities specify Buy American provisions, USDA commodity standards compliance, delivery to designated central warehouses or distribution centers, and palletized FOB Destination terms with prepaid freight.

Geographic activity spans multiple regions, with recent solicitations posted in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 (historical pricing at $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting bids on fresh produce for school nutrition spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and bids due March 19, 2026.
