UNSPSC 50371568: Canned or jarred organic prime gold apples

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

UNSPSC 50371568 Canned or jarred organic prime gold apples, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement activity focused on shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service, though the recent solicitation record shows little direct activity tagged specifically to this code. The opportunities present demonstrate that state and local jurisdictions purchase canned and preserved fruit—including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—for schools, correctional facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state corrections and health agencies, municipal school districts, and special-purpose state institutions. The scope of work spans procurement of pre-packaged fruit products in bulk quantities, delivered on FOB destination terms to central distribution centers or warehouse locations, with firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA commodity and FDA standards, and multi-week or multi-month delivery windows to support institutional meal programs.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate invitations to bid for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively) in May and July 2026, with historical pricing around $21.83 per case and awards to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year via IFB due June 26, 2026; Austin Independent School District in Texas requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited shelf-stable food items including canned products for senior services via informal written quote due October 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued broader food and consumable procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers with estimated values of $1.5 million to $4.5 million over contract periods. None of these recent opportunities explicitly reference organic prime gold apples or list this code as the primary classification, suggesting the code sees limited direct solicitation activity relative to broader canned fruit and shelf-stable food procurement.
