The variety of apples known as jonathan apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381947 Jonathan apple purees, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as shelf-stable and processed fruit products for institutional food service — specifically canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps supplied to correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, senior services programs, and nutrition centers. The actual scope of work under this code spans both unambiguous matches (canned applesauce procured by Oregon Department of Corrections and dried fruit products for Austin Independent School District) and broader food-commodity buys in which apple products represent one line item among dozens (Gwinnett County's 35-item shelf-stable food purchase, Texas HHSC's 210-line-item supplemental food procurement, and Bridgeport Board of Education's 115-item commodities buy). The issuing bodies are a mix of state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), and state-supported institutions (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas state hospitals and living centers). Activity clusters around food service for corrections, elder care, K–12 nutrition programs, and state health and human services facilities rather than commercial or retail distribution.

Geographic spread of recent activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut), Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB on July 10, 2026 (due July 31) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truckloads at a historical price of $21.84 per case; Hancock County Board of Education posting an IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties and other produce for the 2026–27 school year across three school delivery sites; Austin Independent School District posting an RFP on June 26, 2026 (due July 16) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for central-warehouse delivery; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (most recent posted August 19, 2026, due August 24) under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. Buy American provisions (requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products) appear routinely in school nutrition and state agency buys. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent local preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated or processed goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Delivery terms are consistently FOB Destination with prepaid freight, and contract awards favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value evaluation where quality, compliance, and vendor performance are weighted alongside price.
