UNSPSC 50371516: Canned or jarred organic crab apples

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

UNSPSC 50371516 Canned or jarred organic crab apples, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity—the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not align with its scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurements both specify applesauce, pears, or broad food supply categories, not crab apples specifically. School districts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri posting RFPs and IFBs for grocery items, fresh produce, food service products, and nutrition program supplies do not reference canned or jarred crab apples as line items or scope. The code appears to be a nominal classification applied to broader food commodity procurements where crab apples, if present at all, represent a minor commodity within large multi-item baskets.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school systems (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of recent solicitations. If pursuing this code, monitor large school district food service RFPs and state institutional food supply contracts where crab apples might be listed as a minor commodity line item within broader fresh, frozen, or canned fruit categories; however, the available recent opportunities provide no evidence that crab apples specifically command standalone procurement demand at the state or local level.
