UNSPSC 50371596: Canned or jarred organic york imperial apples

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

UNSPSC 50371596 Canned or jarred organic York Imperial apples, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — specifically shelf-stable canned or jarred apples meeting organic certification standards. Recent state and local opportunities show no direct solicitations for this specific commodity; instead, jurisdictions are sourcing canned apples as part of broader food-supply contracts that encompass multiple produce items, proteins, dairy, and consumables. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have solicited canned fruit (applesauce specifically) as part of institutional food-service bundles, while school districts and county boards of education source fresh and processed produce through blanket purchasing agreements. The issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services), county boards of education, independent school districts, and municipal purchasing offices — a diverse set of institutional buyers operating food service operations.

The geographic spread reflects activity across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states with institutional food-service infrastructure. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables solicitation (210 line items including fresh, frozen, and canned fruits, bid due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products procurement (382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, IFB extended to May 4, 2026), and school district fresh produce and processed-fruit solicitations (Austin Independent School District for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, due June 26, 2026). Institutional buyers typically solicit canned or processed apples through competitive bidding (IFB or ITB) with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity and FDA food-safety standards. The code shows minimal standalone activity; opportunities cluster under broader food-supply contracts where organic canned apples would compete as one line item among dozens.
