UNSPSC 50371592: Canned or jarred organic white joaneting apples

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

UNSPSC 50371592 Canned or jarred organic white joaneting apples is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service and food-assistance solicitations—typically bundled with dozens of other shelf-stable and fresh produce items rather than as a standalone line. Recent opportunities show the code embedded in large institutional food buys serving corrections facilities, schools, senior services, veterans' homes, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs across multiple states. The work being solicited is the supply of canned applesauce and similar processed fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with shelf-life requirements and compliance with federal food and safety standards. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county commissioners' offices, municipal school districts, and state veterans' facilities—a mix of institutional food-service operations typically consolidated under a single buyer for a geographic region or facility system rather than individual procurement units.
