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 (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments buy infrequently and in small volumes, primarily through educational food service procurement. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity; the code name specifies organic pomme d'api apples in canned or jarred form, yet the opportunities posted against it diverge substantially—spanning canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, comprehensive food service bundles, and weekly grocery supplies across multiple product categories and facility types. The Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026) is the closest match to the code's nominal scope, requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce in 5 truckloads; however, this procurement allows both sweetened and unsweetened varieties in smooth or chunky form and does not restrict to organic pomme d'api specifically. The historical award price was $21.84 per case. Beyond applesauce, the opportunities tagged to this code include school nutrition procurements for fresh produce, dried fruit bars, comprehensive grocery lines, and state facility food supply—none of which align with the code's stated product definition. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the UNSPSC taxonomy entry does not capture actual state and local procurement practice for this narrow commodity.

Issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts of varying sizes (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education). The code shows geographic activity in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant use case. Opportunities posted between February and July 2026 reflect broad food service procurement cycles tied to school calendar years (July-June contracts), with ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types in use. The code itself carries no decision-relevant procurement signal; business development professionals should treat recent activity as broadly miscoded to food service supply rather than a reliable indicator of demand for the specific product (organic canned pomme d'api apples).
