UNSPSC 50371589: Canned or jarred organic tydeman red apples

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

UNSPSC 50371589 Canned or jarred organic Tydeman red apples (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within food procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show little activity specifically targeting this commodity code. The code's nominal scope is organic preserved apples in canned or jarred form, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food items—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce across multiple varieties, proteins, dairy, and consumables for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Most of these solicitations do not center on the specific commodity of canned or jarred organic Tydeman red apples; instead, they reflect general food procurement by state agencies, county governments, school districts, and state facilities where apple products (applesauce, dried apple crisps, fresh apples of various varieties) may be one line item among dozens or hundreds. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. The state of Illinois, State of Oregon, State of Georgia, State of Texas, and jurisdictions in Georgia and Connecticut appear multiple times in the recent activity.

Geographic spread centers on the South and West, with multiple procurements from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 posted July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (not Tydeman apples) with responses due July 31, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 posted October 13, 2026, requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned products with responses due October 19, 2026; and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 posted June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026. The code shows little focused procurement activity for the specific commodity; bidders pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and state health facility procurement where apple products appear as line items within broader food supply contracts.
