UNSPSC 50371518: Canned or jarred organic delicious apples

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

UNSPSC 50371518 Canned or jarred organic delicious apples, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable canned fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service, institutional feeding, and community nutrition programs. Recent solicitations reveal that this code captures a narrow slice of broader food-supply purchasing: the Oregon Department of Corrections and a Texas health agency both solicited canned applesauce (closely related to the code scope) alongside dozens of other food categories, while school districts, county boards of education, and state institutions buy fresh produce, frozen items, and proteins under parallel codes. State and local issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The mix reflects demand from education, corrections, social services, and health-care institutional buyers rather than a concentrated procurement stream.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026), requesting approximately 4,760 cases and 1,904 cases respectively at historical prices near $21.83 per case, with five-percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, maximum value $4.5 million over three years) covering 210 line items including canned fruits and applesauce. Gwinnett County sought 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.). The code shows modest but recurring activity within larger food-procurement vehicles rather than standalone apple or applesauce contracts; recent opportunities group canned fruit with proteins, vegetables, and other commodities under single awards rather than isolating the code's specific product line.
