UNSPSC 50371544: Canned or jarred organic jester apples

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

UNSPSC 50371544 Canned or jarred organic jester apples is a Commodity code that rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a narrow product category — preserved apples meeting organic certification and specific variety specifications — but the recent solicitations tagged under this code do not materially feature canned or jarred organic jester apples. Instead, issuing bodies in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut are soliciting food service products across much broader categories: whole fresh produce, canned applesauce (not jester apples), dried fruit bars, and mixed commodities for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. The scope of work is institutional food service resupply, not specialized apple products.

The recent opportunities show no meaningful geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern specific to this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (not jester apples, which the code specifies) with response dates of June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options; and Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Austin Independent School District, the City of Bridgeport, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts all solicited broad food and commodity buys. Because the code specifies organic jester apples and the recent opportunities do not name that product, the code shows little relevant procurement signal for vendors focused on that specific commodity. Vendors marketing preserved jester apples should monitor broader produce and commodity codes that capture school nutrition, corrections, and institutional food service spend rather than rely on this narrow Commodity code for opportunity identification.
