UNSPSC 50371594: Canned or jarred organic winesap apples

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

UNSPSC 50371594 Canned or jarred organic winesap apples is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable fruit products in rigid containers that state and local governments procure primarily for food service, institutional feeding programs, and nutritional support operations. Recent state and local solicitations show actual buying activity focused on canned applesauce and broader multi-item food commodity acquisitions rather than the code's specific organic winesap specification; the specific organic apple variety appears rarely in posted opportunities. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). School districts and state facility operators conducting food service procurement represent the largest segment of recent activity under this code space.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce, posted July 10, 2026 with bids due July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and an estimated historical contract value of $1.5 million; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, with quotes due October 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties and other produce, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 for the 2026–27 school year, requiring Buy American compliance with a 51 percent minimum domestic content threshold for processed products. Most school and institutional food service contracts run on fiscal-year terms with firm pricing and quarterly or annual renewal options subject to appropriations.
