UNSPSC 50371535: Canned or jarred organic granny smith apples

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

UNSPSC 50371535 Canned or jarred organic granny smith apples, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and jarred apple products—primarily applesauce in multiple formats (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky)—procured by state corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies for food service operations. The code shows consistent recent activity across multiple issuing-body types, with corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and state institutional food services as primary buyers. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned applesauce within the past two months, indicating recurring demand; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple school districts have similarly solicited apple-containing food products, though some opportunities under this code nominal scope actually span broader fruit and vegetable procurement rather than apple-specific items alone.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026) and an earlier ITB S2910000016975 (1,904 cases, response due June 2, 2026), both applying Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food-supply procurements encompassing apple and apple-derivative products as line items within larger commodity bundles (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449), with annual estimated values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million depending on scope. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) have issued broader fresh-produce and processed-food procurements that include apples and apple products as specified line items. Most school-nutrition opportunities run on annual cycles (July through June), with firm fixed pricing for the contract term; Oregon corrections procurements use ITB method with commodity-specification compliance required; Texas institutional buyers apply cost-plus or best-value evaluation criteria with CPI-indexed adjustment options at renewal.
