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, covers shelf-stable packaged apple products that state and local food service operations procure for institutional meal programs, including school nutrition, corrections food service, state facilities, and county senior programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying not only the code's nominal organic codlin variety but also canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, and fresh apple varieties as part of broader food procurement. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home network, Georgia state facilities, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport). Work being solicited ranges from single-item applesauce contracts to comprehensive multi-hundred line-item food commodity buys that include apples and apple products alongside proteins, dairy, produce, and staple items.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable procurement volume from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ cafeteria products, Comptroller statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections applesauce, two separate ITBs in May and July 2026), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate applesauce ITBs within months—S-29100-00016975 (due June 2, 2026) and S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026)—signaling regular purchasing cycles; the July ITB estimated 4,760 cases with historical pricing at $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales. Hancock County Board of Education requested fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for SY27 (IFB due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American provisions appear frequently; Texas and Connecticut enforcements require minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, and Oregon applies combined state-vendor preferences up to 10 percent.
