UNSPSC 50322506: Dried black schmidt cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322506 Dried black schmidt cherries (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but the code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Among the twelve recent state and local opportunities tagged to this Commodity code, only one—the County of Santa Clara's Invitation to Bids (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) for dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction Food Services at Elmwood Correctional Facility, posted January 28, 2026, with bids due February 5, 2026—involves dried fruit procurement at all. That solicitation required five line items on an all-or-none basis, including dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix, with no mention of dried cherries specifically. The remaining opportunities in the block are school nutrition master grocery contracts, cafeteria food products for state corrections, and fresh produce procurements for school districts—none of which target dried black schmidt cherries or dried cherries as a line item. The code does not surface a discrete market for this specific commodity among recent state and local buyers.

State and local procurement activity under this code is effectively dormant. School districts, county boards of education, and corrections agencies dominate the broader dried fruit and food commodity space, but dried black schmidt cherries do not appear as a specified line item in any of the recent solicitations examined. The Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts bid is the closest proxy, soliciting through an ITB with a five-year contract term and local business preference, but it targets raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends—not cherries. Buyers pursuing this Commodity code should verify that actual purchasing demand exists within their target jurisdictions before investing in supplier qualification or inventory positioning; the recent-opportunities record suggests dried black schmidt cherries are either bundled into broader grocery or fresh produce line items, sourced through existing master agreements, or not actively procured by state and local agencies at present.
