UNSPSC 50371563: Canned or jarred organic pearmain apples

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

UNSPSC 50371563 Canned or jarred organic pearmain apples is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable, packaged apple products — primarily canned applesauce and processed apple items — solicited by state corrections departments, county nutrition programs, school districts, and state health and human services agencies for institutional food service. The code sees steady demand across correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services operations. State and local buyers typically procure these items as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone commodities; recent solicitations show applesauce appearing alongside dozens of other canned and processed fruits and proteins in consolidated food-service bids.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, each covering approximately 1,900–4,760 cases); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, bid response deadline March 19, 2026, with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned fruits (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought bids for school nutrition commodities under the Buy American Provision (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued recurring quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (27497DVAQUINCB52820 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, both posted June–August 2026). Oregon applies a combined 10 percent state-preference adder (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders); Texas HHSC requires responses to a minimum of 95 percent of line items with delivery within seven days of order; and Connecticut and Georgia school and county programs enforce the Buy American Provision requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Historical pricing for canned applesauce runs approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case, with awards typically made on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder or best-value basis and delivery on FOB destination terms.
