UNSPSC 50371525: Canned or jarred organic fuji apples

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

UNSPSC 50371525 Canned or jarred organic fuji apples (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school districts, correctional facilities, senior services, and health and human services agencies. The solicitations show demand for applesauce (both sweetened and unsweetened, smooth and chunky varieties packed in juice, water, or light syrup) and dried apple products (crisps and bars), with canned apples appearing as line items within broader food procurement vehicles rather than as standalone specialty purchases. Issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, senior services departments, and independent school districts, with institutional food service representing the primary use case across all tiers of government.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned fruits (due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales (due July 31, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties and other items (due June 26, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). Oregon applies a combined 10 percent price preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; most other jurisdictions enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
