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

UNSPSC 50371541 Canned or jarred organic ida red apples is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and jarred fruit products—predominantly applesauce, canned apple preparations, and processed fruit products—purchased by state departments, school districts, and county institutions for food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and related processed fruit items in bulk quantities to support institutional food service, child nutrition programs, and state facility operations. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and other state departments and county boards of education. The buyer mix reflects heavy school-district activity alongside state department institutional food procurement.

Geographic concentration is evident in the South and Southwest, with active recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Texas (HHSC, Dallas ISD, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The code also sees activity from Illinois and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) seeking 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004 (posted June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the district's central warehouse; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food order for Q4 FY-27 (posted June 12, 2026, due June 17, 2026) with brand-specific requirements. Most solicitations use ITB or RFP methods with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and contract periods tied to school years (July-June) or fiscal cycles. Institutional buyers apply Buy American requirements, USDA commodity compliance, and prevailing wage standards where applicable, with Texas agencies emphasizing HUB subcontracting considerations and state preference programs. No set-asides or disadvantaged-business restrictions appear consistently across the code's recent activity.
