The variety of apples known as jersey mac apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381943 Jersey mac apple purees (Commodity) covers canned and shelf-stable apple products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — cafeterias, senior centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and school nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect purchase of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps in bulk quantities delivered to central warehouses or distributed across multiple facility locations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county boards of education and county commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported living centers. No single issuer dominates; the code sees activity across multiple jurisdictional types, with Illinois Department of Human Services and Oregon Department of Corrections appearing twice in the recent record.

Recent solicitations span the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), Midwest (Illinois), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with the greatest recent concentration in Georgia and Texas. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case, bids due July 31, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and specialty items for school year 2026–27 (bids due June 26, 2026); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including applesauce for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026).
