UNSPSC 50301592: White joaneting apples

The variety of apples known as white joaneting apples

UNSPSC 50301592 White joaneting apples is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item. State and local governments procure white joaneting apples primarily through institutional food-service contracts — school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, and child care programs that source fresh produce for meal programs. The code appears embedded in broader fresh produce and grocery solicitations rather than as a standalone item; recent opportunities identify white joaneting apples as one line item within multi-hundred-line fresh fruit and vegetable specifications serving national school lunch programs, CACFP meal services, and correctional and behavioral health facility dining. Issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Early County, and Dougherty County boards of education in Georgia, Mississippi, and Wisconsin), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county government agencies (Collier County), municipalities (City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), and specialized entities such as Head Start of Greater Dallas. Texas and Georgia dominate recent activity, with repeated solicitations from TDCJ food warehouse operations and multiple Georgia school districts. Institutional food buyers typically specify apple varieties, case pack sizes, ripeness stages, temperature requirements, and delivery windows within larger produce contracts rather than procuring apples in isolation.

Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations for Palestine (IW267376, due October 19, 2026), Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026), and Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026), all posted in late September 2026 with response deadlines within two to three weeks of posting. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 on July 8, 2026 (due July 29), specifically for petite bananas at an estimated $78,000 annual value, demonstrating granular fruit procurement by school districts. Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Schools, and Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia all posted sealed bid solicitations for fresh produce spanning multiple line items including apple varieties (Ambrosia, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz) between May and June 2026. Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, prevailing wage compliance, and delivery-temperature specifications appear consistently across correctional, school, and senior-care solicitations. Activity remains concentrated in institutional bulk purchasing for recurring meal programs rather than casual or one-time procurement.
