UNSPSC 50371575: Canned or jarred organic red stayman apples

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

UNSPSC 50371575 Canned or jarred organic red stayman apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader food service and nutrition programs serving institutional populations — correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code captures demand for shelf-stable apple products when agencies solicit produce and food supplies through centralized food procurement. Recent opportunities under this code show state and local buyers sourcing canned applesauce, dried apple crisps, and fresh apples as components of larger institutional food service contracts rather than as standalone line items; applesauce appears most frequently in corrections, education, and state facility menus. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), city boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and senior services agencies (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services). The code sees steady activity across a mix of vehicle types — ITBs predominate for corrections procurement, IFBs for state health and human services facilities, RFPs for school districts, and informal written quotes for county nutrition programs.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia, where Hancock County and Gwinnett County schools have posted activity) and the West (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas corrections and health agencies). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award price $21.84 per case, with a second ITB in May 2026 for 1,904 cases at $21.83 per case); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties for the 2026–27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, bid response deadline March 19, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content preferences apply in school nutrition procurement (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products); Oregon offers a combined 10 percent preference for state-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Delivery typically occurs FOB Destination on firm, fixed pricing with annual contract terms, and most buyers reserve the right to make single or multiple awards per line item based on best value or lowest responsive and responsible bid.
