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 state and local governments are not currently procuring under this code, despite the code's nominal scope. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not align with its stated commodity. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Liberty County Board of Education have all posted food service and child nutrition procurement opportunities in recent months, but none target organic sugar apples—canned, jarred, or otherwise. The actual goods being solicited include canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables), frozen and refrigerated food products, eggs, dairy, proteins, grains, and consumable supplies for institutional food service operations.

The code shows significant activity within school districts and state institutional facilities across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, but the commodity classification itself does not match current procurement demand. School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly independent school districts and county boards of education procuring annual grocery and fresh produce contracts under IFB and RFP methods. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) for approximately $5.5 million across 30 school districts. Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri) and Mid-Atlantic (Connecticut). The code as currently indexed appears to be a misclassification; business development professionals pursuing food service supply opportunities should track actual commodity demand in school nutrition, corrections, and state hospital procurement rather than rely on this code's nominal scope.
