The variety of apples known as james grieve apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381942 James grieve apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and processed applesauce products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, with recent solicitations showing demand across correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services institutions. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) seeks 4,760 cases of canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, available sweetened or unsweetened and smooth or chunky, with deliveries in five full truckloads to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; the historical award price was $21.84 per case. State and local issuing bodies include department of corrections facilities, school districts (such as Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps), state health and human services agencies procuring for state supported living centers and psychiatric hospitals, and state institutional feeding programs, with institutional food service representing the dominant use case across all recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois seeing the most recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned fruit solicitations (including the July 2026 ITB and an earlier June 2026 ITB S-29100-00017453), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually. School districts in Texas (Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) and Georgia have also recently solicited food products including apple-based items for child nutrition programs. Geographic spread extends across multiple states with no single region dominating, though institutional procurement in Texas and Georgia appears particularly active for processed fruit and food service commodities more broadly.
