UNSPSC 50371591: Canned or jarred organic wealthy apples

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

UNSPSC 50371591 Canned or jarred organic wealthy apples, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and jarred apple products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services operations. The recent opportunities reveal procurement activity centered on canned applesauce, dried apple products, and fresh apples across school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and county boards of education. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District), state-level departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school systems (Muscogee County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), and city boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). School nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity, with supplemental state-level food service procurement for corrections and institutional health operations accounting for secondary volume.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity across the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at the historical price of $21.84 per case, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals (RFP 27RFP004) due July 16, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products including produce for the El Paso State Supported Living Center; and Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids (IFB #SN002-2027) due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties. School-level procurement typically uses ITB or RFP methods with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, quarterly or annual contract periods with renewal options, and Buy American or domestic-content preferences where applicable.
