UNSPSC 50371577: Canned or jarred organic reinette apples

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

UNSPSC 50371577 Canned or jarred organic reinette apples is a Commodity code covering preserved apple products, specifically canned or jarred varieties, that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations for institutions including detention facilities, veterans' homes, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code represents a narrow slice of institutional food procurement, appearing most frequently as a line item within larger commodity food solicitations rather than as a standalone purchase. State and local governments buying under this code include county boards of education, state corrections and veterans' affairs departments, school districts, county boards of commissioners overseeing senior services, and state health and human services agencies. These issuing bodies source canned apples and apple products through standing food supply contracts serving cafeterias, nutrition centers, inmate feeding programs, and facility food services, with purchasing often bundled into broader food and consumables RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs that span 100+ line items across proteins, vegetables, dairy, and preserved fruits.

Recent activity shows the code seeing moderate but dispersed procurement interest across the Southeast, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026), each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with historical pricing around $21.83 per case; Oregon applies a 5% state-goods and 5% resident-bidder preference. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (response due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, with canned vegetables and preserved fruits among the 35 line items. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis (multiple cycles posted June and August 2026), with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792V2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum three-year value of $4.5 million across 210 line items. Canned apple products are not the primary focus of these solicitations but rather embedded components of institutional food supply contracts where pricing is competitive, delivery windows are tight (often 45–72 hours), and compliance with USDA commodity standards and Buy American provisions (where applicable) is mandatory.
