UNSPSC 50371543: Canned or jarred organic jersey mac apples

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

UNSPSC 50371543 Canned or jarred organic jersey mac apples is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct recent solicitation activity; state and local governments buying under this code are primarily pursuing canned applesauce and fresh produce items that overlap tangentially with the narrow organic-apple specification, rather than the specialty apple product the code nominally describes. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB S-29100-00017453) on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to be delivered in five truckloads to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST; the historical price for this item was $21.84 per case. School districts and state-supported living facilities also procure canned and fresh fruit through broader food-service solicitations—Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB HHS0017449) on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items covering fruits and canned goods in parallel procurements posted March 31, 2026, with bids due April 29, 2026. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of state corrections and human services departments, school districts, and regional school nutrition consortia; repeat buyers are concentrated among school districts pursuing annual food-service contracts and state institutional facilities managing meal programs.

The code shows activity concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest, with notable recent solicitations in Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Texas (HHSC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office). Produce and applesauce procurement is most active in school-nutrition and institutional-food-service contexts where buy-American provisions and USDA commodity standards drive specification language; the code itself appears to capture only a fraction of this activity, with most canned-fruit and fresh-produce buys tagged to broader food-supply or commodity codes. The recent opportunities show school districts and state facilities buying canned applesauce and fresh fruit on annual or multi-year fixed-price contracts with firm delivery schedules, typically in cases or per-unit quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of units annually, and pricing accountability tied to historical market indices or cost-plus-fee structures.
