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

UNSPSC 50391592 Organic white joaneting apple purees, a Commodity code, encompasses canned and processed apple products—predominantly applesauce in various formats (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky)—supplied to state correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. State and local governments procure these items through departments of corrections, independent school districts, boards of education, and state health and human services commissions, with school nutrition programs representing the highest volume of recent solicitations. Work solicited under the code includes canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, packed in juice, water, or light syrup with minimum one-year shelf life, and dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service. Pricing is typically quoted on a per-unit or per-case basis, FOB destination with transportation prepaid, and delivery windows range from 45 to 60 days after purchase order issuance. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce ITBs with historical award prices near $21.84 per case, and the code also captures broader grocery and produce procurement opportunities where apple products and fruit-based items are component line items rather than sole focus.
