UNSPSC 50371567: Canned or jarred organic pomme d'api apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic pomme d'api apples that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50371567 Canned or jarred organic pomme d'api apples is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned apple products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation of organic pomme d'api apples specifically. Rather, state and local governments use codes in this family to procure canned and jarred fruit products more broadly—applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and apple-based items—as components of larger food-service and nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state veterans' homes, state health and human services agencies, municipalities, and independent school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted recent food-procurement solicitations that include applesauce or apple products alongside dozens of other shelf-stable items. These agencies treat apple and applesauce procurement as one line item within multi-category food contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, with response dates of June 2 and July 31 respectively), each requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,700 cases on FOB destination terms and specifying USDA 2011 commodity standards. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items via informal written quote (IWQ, due October 19, 2026) for its Department of Community Services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two broad food-procurement IFBs covering applesauce and mixed canned fruits among 200+ line items (historical values $1.5 million annually and potential three-year value of $4.5 million). Austin Independent School District posted an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year (IFB due June 26, 2026). No recent solicitations target organic pomme d'api apples by name; opportunity concentration lies in multi-item institutional food contracts where canned apple products function as one commodity among many, typically awarded on lowest-responsive-bidder or best-value criteria with firm pricing and FOB destination delivery terms.
