UNSPSC 50371590: Canned or jarred organic vistabella apples

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

UNSPSC 50371590 Canned or jarred organic vistabella apples (Commodity) covers shelf-stable fruit products—both canned applesauce and dried fruit bars—procured by state agencies, county boards of education, city school districts, and state-supported living centers for food service operations including cafeteria meal programs, senior nutrition centers, and correctional facility dining. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for fruit-based shelf-stable commodities rather than brand-specific organic vistabella apples alone; the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have solicited canned applesauce under the code, while the Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas HHSC, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Award patterns show single-vendor and multi-vendor splits depending on issuing body preference and operational need.

Recent activity clusters in the South and West with standout repeat procurement by the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food orders for the Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026, historically awarded to MJ Kellner and Robbins Sales at approximately $21.83–$21.84 per case). Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Georgia school districts have also posted solicitations under the code in the past six months. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce due June 2, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% resident-bidder preference; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide with a March 19, 2026 deadline and estimated three-year contract value of up to $4.5 million. Delivery expectations typically run 45–60 days for initial shipment, FOB destination with freight prepaid, to centralized distribution hubs or facility locations.
