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 is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—organic crab apples in preserved form—does not align with the actual goods being solicited under this code in the recent opportunities block. Instead, state and local food-service procurements tagged with this code are requesting broader shelf-stable food products, fresh produce, canned fruits (primarily applesauce), dried fruit bars, and general cafeteria or nutrition-center commodities. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, city nutrition centers, and state veterans' homes. No single issuer dominates the recent activity, and the mix spans school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and senior services.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, and the State of Georgia) and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections) each show multiple recent opportunities; Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice) also demonstrates sustained procurement activity. Illinois (State of Illinois, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and other states appear once or twice in the recent block. Representative opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables with a potential three-year value of $4,500,000 and a bid deadline of March 19, 2026. The code shows activity but little specificity to organic crab apples; vendors pursuing this classification should verify that their actual product aligns with the issuer's stated scope before responding.
