UNSPSC 50371511: Canned or jarred organic codlin apples

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

UNSPSC 50371511 Canned or jarred organic codlin apples, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity in state and local procurement; recent opportunities tagged under this code actually solicite broader canned and fresh produce categories rather than organic codlin apples specifically. State and local buyers under this code span departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and school districts. The work being solicited includes canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce staples (apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens), eggs, and mixed food and consumable products for institutional food service operations including prisons, state-supported living centers, public schools, and child nutrition programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies, with school districts (particularly in Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia) appearing frequently across multiple recent solicitations, alongside state departments of corrections and health and human services commissions.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with notable procurement volume in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education), Texas (Dallas Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical price $21.84 per case); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items of apples, berries, and vegetables for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 aligned with school fiscal years, with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, delivery to multiple school sites or state facilities, and awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
