UNSPSC 50376800: Canned or jarred organic sugar apple

The type of organic fruit known as organic sugar apple that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376800 Canned or jarred organic sugar apple is a Class code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, including applesauce, used by state and local food service operations to supply correctional facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county senior services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce in bulk case quantities — typically ranging from 1,904 to 4,760 cases per order — alongside broader food procurement efforts that bundle applesauce with other canned fruits, proteins, vegetables, and consumables. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce alone, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and state-operated food service operations solicit applesauce as one line item within comprehensive food and consumable commodity packages. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, posting separate ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in the West and South, with Oregon (multiple ODOC ITBs due June 2026 and July 31, 2026), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ food service procurements), Georgia (state and county food supply orders), Illinois (Veterans Home quarterly food orders), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, solicited 1,904 cases of canned applesauce (two truckloads) on an FOB Destination basis with five percent Oregon-fabricated and five percent resident-bidder preferences; the historical price was $21.827 per case awarded to MJ Kellner in January 2026. A subsequent ODOC ITB S2910000017453, posted July 10, 2026 with bids due July 31, 2026, requested 4,760 cases (five truckloads) of canned applesauce—sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky—meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications with a minimum one-year shelf life; the prior award to Robbins Sales was $21.84 per case in June 2026. The Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026) included canned fruit products as part of a 210-line-item supplemental food procurement with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. All major solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and submission through state procurement portals or email; many include Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and require vendor insurance, E-Verify authorization, and HACCP or health compliance documentation.
