UNSPSC 50371529: Canned or jarred organic ginger gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50371529 Canned or jarred organic ginger gold apples (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within the broader state and local food procurement market, though the recent contract opportunities available do not directly reference this specific product line. State and local buying agencies have posted solicitations for canned applesauce, fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, dried fruit bars, and general shelf-stable food commodities, but none explicitly solicit canned or jarred organic ginger gold apples. The issuing bodies sourcing under adjacent produce and food codes span diverse jurisdiction types: state corrections departments and health and human services agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county social services (Gwinnett County in Georgia), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and specialized state institutions (Texas state supported living centers). These buyers procure both fresh and processed fruit products in bulk—typically measured in cases or truckloads—for institutional food service, inmate meals, school lunch programs, and senior nutrition services.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Southeast, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 18, 2026 and July 10, 2026, both due dates passed), each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and awards to established vendors such as Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner; ODOC offers a combined 10% Oregon preference for goods fabricated in-state and resident bidders. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, now closed) covering 210 line items with a potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million across state hospitals and supported living centers. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, June 26 deadline) and Gwinnett County in Georgia (IWQ 140229, October 19 deadline) both solicit fresh and shelf-stable produce, though neither specifically targets organic ginger gold apples. The code shows no direct recent demand signal; procurement activity clusters around commodity applesauce, fresh apples of standard varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp), and generic canned fruit rather than the narrowly defined organic ginger gold apple product.
