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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food service supplies for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and county and municipal purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases; Douglas County School System). The mix shows heavy concentration in school nutrition procurement, with repeat activity from Texas HHS and Oregon DOC.

Recent opportunities illustrate the scope mismatch. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017453 on July 10, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (not organic apples) with bids due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products spanning 210 line items across bread, dairy, frozen foods, and gluten-free items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. School districts dominate the geographic spread, with recent activity in Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Oregon (ODOC), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood). The code shows substantial recent activity but operates as a catch-all for food service procurement rather than as a specific commodity category matching its nominal definition.
