UNSPSC 50371556: Canned or jarred organic mutsu apples

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

UNSPSC 50371556 Canned or jarred organic mutsu apples is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and jarred fruit products—particularly applesauce and preserved apple varieties—procured by state agencies, school districts, and institutional food service operators for cafeteria and nutrition programs. State and local buyers under this code span corrections departments, school nutrition services across multiple districts, health and human services agencies operating state facilities, and county boards of education. Work solicited includes the purchase of bulk canned applesauce (typically 4,000–5,000 cases per procurement), fresh or processed apple products for school meal programs, and supplemental fruit items to supply institutional kitchens serving inmates, patients, and students. Apples appear as discrete line items within larger fresh-produce RFPs and as components of comprehensive food-supply contracts. The Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple school districts in Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas school systems (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), and state health agencies in Texas and Illinois are active recent buyers. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, with repeat activity from corrections and health-care facilities.

Geographic activity clusters in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional procurement signals from Illinois and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case (historical award price to Robbins Sales); Austin ISD RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables (including fruit items) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) sought fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) under IFB due June 26, 2026. Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) appear consistently across school district solicitations. Most contracts specify firm fixed pricing for the contract term, FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid, and multi-vendor award structures. Insurance requirements typically mandate $1 million to $2 million in general commercial liability. Contract terms run twelve months, frequently with renewal options through three to five years.
