UNSPSC 50322501: Dried amarelle cherries

The variety of cherries known as amarelle cherries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50322501 Dried amarelle cherries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for the specific product. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations explicitly calling for dried amarelle cherries; instead, state and local buyers are sourcing dried fruit as part of broader food-service aggregations. The County of Santa Clara, California, issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts (including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix) to support correctional-facility food services, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured whole, pitted dried prunes in a standalone IFB. These represent the closest matches in the dataset to the commodity's nominal scope. The broader pattern across the recent opportunities shows that state and local food procurement—particularly school districts and correctional systems—frequently bundles dried-fruit line items into larger grocery or produce solicitations rather than issuing standalone RFPs for single dried-fruit products. School districts including Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri are actively bidding fresh produce and grocery items for the 2026–27 school year, and some of these larger solicitations may include dried fruit as subordinate line items, though the summaries do not itemize those specific components.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with additional state-level procurement from Texas and California. Georgia school districts—Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—issued multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, eggs, and integrated food supply between January and June 2026, typically with response deadlines between February and late April. Texas procurement activity includes the TDCJ's Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026) and the stand-alone prunes IFB (due February 20, 2026). California's County of Santa Clara issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts serving the Elmwood Correctional Facility (due February 5, 2026), which directly commoditizes dried-fruit sourcing. Connecticut and Missouri school districts round out the geographic footprint. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition RFPs and correctional-facility food-service solicitations where dried fruit appears as a line-item component rather than expecting standalone commodity-level bids for dried amarelle cherries specifically; the code's nominal scope does not currently drive high-volume standalone procurement visibility in the dataset.
