UNSPSC 50371542: Canned or jarred organic james grieve apples

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

UNSPSC 50371542 Canned or jarred organic James Grieve apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow segment of the fresh and processed fruit purchasing that state and local food service operations conduct, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct procurement activity tagged to this specific code. State and local governments buy canned and jarred apple products primarily through broader food-service solicitations that cover dozens or hundreds of line items—shelf-stable proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared entrees—rather than through single-commodity tenders. When apple products do appear in recent opportunities, they surface as components of multi-category food buys: Hancock County Board of Education solicited multiple fresh apple varieties (Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia) as line items within a 200-line fresh produce contract; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurement included fruit products across 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center bought fruit products as part of a 115-line commodity procurement; and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued tenders for canned applesauce (not James Grieve specifically) as two-truckload purchases. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC and DSHS, State of Illinois), counties (Gwinnett, Hancock), cities (Bridgeport), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), and other state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller). Food service procurement is fragmented across issuing bodies and geographic regions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, though the code itself shows little direct procurement signal. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned applesauce (not organic or James Grieve branded) in May 2026 and again in July 2026, with response dates of June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026 respectively, and historical pricing around $21.82 per case. Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026, with delivery by December 7, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested sealed bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026. Texas HHSC issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items) with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026, and a potential three-year contract value of up to $4.5 million. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought commodities bids for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, requiring 51 percent domestic content under Buy American provisions. The code itself does not anchor a recent dedicated procurement; opportunities tagged to it appear miscategorized or represent only incidental line items within larger food-service buys.
