UNSPSC 50381992: White joaneting apple purees

The variety of apples known as white joaneting apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50381992 White joaneting apple purees is a Commodity-tier code that captures processed apple products—chiefly canned applesauce and dried apple snacks—procured by state agencies, county and city food service operations, and school districts for institutional meal programs and state facility nutrition services. Recent opportunities show state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and independent school districts sourcing canned applesauce in cases of 952 to 1,904 units, dried fruit bars and apple crisps in bulk quantities, and supplemental apple-based products for state hospitals and supported living centers. The scope spans products meeting USDA commodity specifications, complying with FDA standards, maintaining minimum one-year shelf lives, and ranging from unsweetened varieties packed in water or light syrup to dried snack items free of artificial sweeteners and high-fructose corn syrup. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, independent school districts (both large urban systems and rural county boards), and special-purpose nutrition programs. A standout repeat buyer is the Oregon Department of Corrections, which has posted multiple applesauce bids in recent months; Texas Health and Human Services Commission likewise appears multiple times across supplemental food procurement cycles.

The code shows robust recent activity across the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (40,000 pounds per truckload) compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications and priced historically at $21.84 per case; the same agency earlier posted ITB S2910000016975 on May 18, 2026, for 1,904 cases due June 2, 2026, awarded to MJ Kellner at $21.827 per case. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, due July 16, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service delivery to the central warehouse. Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products including apple-based items under IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026, due extended to February 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) across state supported living centers and facilities statewide, with the latter noting historical annual value of $1.5 million and contract terms through August 31, 2028. Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted a quarterly food order solicitation on June 12, 2026, due June 17, 2026, with brand-specific requirements under standard state contracting terms. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the South (Texas, Georgia), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), with school district procurement scattered across additional states.
