UNSPSC 50371517: Canned or jarred organic crispin apples

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

UNSPSC 50371517 Canned or jarred organic crispin apples is a Commodity code that names a specific fresh-fruit product line, but the recent state and local solicitations under this tag reveal that governments are actually procuring shelf-stable canned fruit products — applesauce, canned fruit, and dried fruit bars — as part of broader food-service and nutrition contracts for correctional facilities, veterans homes, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code sits at the tail end of food procurement activity, where jurisdictions bundle individual commodity items into larger line-item RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-supported facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas state hospitals and supported living centers). The Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois appear as repeat buyers, with ODOC issuing separate ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026, and Illinois posting multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Veterans Home at Quincy across multiple quarters.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas, with additional procurement from Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and state preferences of up to 10 percent for Oregon goods and bidders; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (including canned proteins and vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and canned goods with a response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Buy American and domestic-content provisions appear in school-district and state-agency solicitations. Delivery is typically FOB destination within 30 to 60 days of order, with product compliance to USDA commodity standards and FDA regulations standard across all issuers.
