UNSPSC 50322503: Dried bigarreu cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322503 Dried bigarreu cherries (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The five most recent postings tagged to this code cover broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs, state food service operations, and correctional facilities—including fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, canned vegetables, and miscellaneous pantry staples—with only one solicitation (Texas TDCJ Bid IW236532) addressing a dried fruit product at all, and that for dried prunes rather than dried cherries. The code's nominal scope does not align with the current activity; state and local food service buyers are procuring complete meal-service commodity baskets rather than specialty dried cherry products in particular.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level food-service operations (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). Recent opportunities posted between May and June 2026 carry response dates of May 4, June 22, and June 26, 2026. Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce (SY27, due June 26, 2026) and Bridgeport's commodity bid for the Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) reflect institutional purchasing for school meal programs; the Texas TDCJ solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covers bulk cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse distribution points. No vendor showed repeat activity across these opportunities, and no geographic concentration emerges—activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas with no dominant region. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity; dried cherry products do not appear as a line item in any of the posted solicitations.
