UNSPSC 50371530: Canned or jarred organic gladstone apples

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

UNSPSC 50371530 Canned or jarred organic gladstone apples is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred apple products, typically whole or in sauce form, procured by state and local food service operators—school districts, corrections departments, state-supported living centers, senior services departments, and health and human services agencies—for institutional dining and nutrition programs. The code appears in solicitations for bulk food procurement where canned apples serve as a standardized, long-shelf-life component of meal service, often specified alongside other canned fruits, vegetables, and proteins in comprehensive food supply contracts. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce (not specifically organic gladstone apples) in case quantities ranging from 1,904 to 4,760 cases, with delivery to central distribution centers or on-site food service facilities, and pricing evaluated on a per-case or per-unit basis with firm, fixed quotes. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, county senior services, city boards of education, and state-supported living centers across the institutional food procurement spectrum.

Activity under this code spans multiple states with recent solicitations from Oregon (Department of Corrections, ITB for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce due June 2, 2026, and another ITB for 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office, weekly food orders for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, proposals due August 24, 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County, informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products due October 19, 2026, and State of Georgia general food supplies procurement due June 22, 2026), Texas (HHSC for state-supported living centers and state hospitals, IFB due July 11, 2026 with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB due May 4, 2026), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities bid due June 26, 2026). Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for in-state goods and suppliers. Most recent opportunities specify F.O.B. destination delivery with transportation prepaid, minimum one-year shelf life, USDA commodity compliance, and firm pricing for the contract term, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
