UNSPSC 50376802: Canned or jarred organic seedless sugar apple

The variety of organic sugar apples known as organic seedless sugar apple that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50376802 Canned or jarred organic seedless sugar apple (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments buying food products under this Commodity code are in fact procuring canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader fresh produce and food service supplies—items unrelated to the code's nominal scope of organic sugar apples. The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span institutional food service operators: state corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and school boards in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026) and the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). Both solicitations specify USDA commodity compliance, Buy American Act adherence, firm fixed pricing delivered FOB destination, and general commercial liability insurance typically ranging from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Rockwood School District (Missouri), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) all posting solicitations between January and July 2026. The code shows substantial volume in school nutrition and state facility food service procurement—school districts dominate the opportunity set, purchasing produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods on annual cycles. Contract values disclosed range from $1.5 million (Texas HHSC facility food service) to $9 million (Douglas County Schools food supply) to $4.4 million (GEC Buying Cooperative produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts). Delivery windows typically span July through June following each school year, with pricing firm for 12 months and renewal options standard. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement scope signals either a tagging error in the state and local system or that the code is repurposed beyond its intended commodity classification.
