UNSPSC 50371513: Canned or jarred organic costard apples

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

UNSPSC 50371513 Canned or jarred organic custard apples (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for organic custard apples; instead, the opportunities are tagged under this code but soliciting shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, general commodity foods, and proteins for schools, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and senior services. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought diverge materially. No relevant recent activity supports a meaningful market assessment for canned or jarred organic custard apples at the state and local level.

State and local procurement offices across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut have issued recent bids and RFPs for food service supplies (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, the City of Bridgeport, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), but these opportunities solicit applesauce, fresh produce assortments, dried fruit bars, general food commodities, and proteins rather than the specialty item named in this code. The absence of custard-apple-specific solicitations suggests this code assignment is a data error or reflects very limited procurement demand under the nominal commodity classification. Prospective vendors should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to this classification.
