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 state and local governments use to procure shelf-stable canned and jarred apple products—particularly applesauce in multiple styles (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky)—for food service operations across correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code applies to broader institutional food procurement where applesauce appears as one line item among dozens of food products rather than as a standalone category; the code's nominal name references a specific apple variety, but actual state and local buying reflects general canned fruit and processed apple products meeting USDA commodity standards. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, county boards of education, and county departments of community services. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and various Georgia and Illinois state agencies appear repeatedly in recent activity.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with additional activity in Connecticut and other scattered jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with an estimated historical price of $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026, under a five percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products, due October 19, 2026. Buy American domestic-content provisions appear in school district and state hospital food service procurements, and most solicitations specify FOB Destination delivery with prepaid freight and require minimum commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence.
