UNSPSC 50322511: Dried chapman cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322511 Dried chapman cherries (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within school nutrition procurement, though the code shows minimal direct activity in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities records include one solicitation explicitly naming dried fruit products — Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to support detention facility food services, which specifically requested dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis, with no separate line item for dried chapman cherries. The broader school nutrition market visible in the records encompasses comprehensive fresh and processed produce procurement across elementary, middle, and high schools, but references to dried specialty fruits remain sparse. State and local buyers soliciting under related produce and nutrition codes include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), county detention facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department), and municipal school boards (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), alongside cooperative purchasing arrangements like the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts.

Geographic concentration of school nutrition procurement activity appears heaviest in Georgia and other southeastern and mid-Atlantic states, with additional activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. The recent solicitations show school districts issuing IFBs and RFPs on annual cycles (predominantly July-through-June contract periods) with response deadlines clustering in late March through late June 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce encompassing over 200 line items with a June 26 response date; Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 solicitation for over 900 grocery items with an April 29 deadline; and Douglas County Schools' February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts cooperatively, with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across both geographic areas. Dried chapman cherries do not appear in the detailed line-item listings of any recent solicitation; vendors pursuing this code should recognize that while dried fruit procurement occurs within state and local school nutrition and corrections food service channels, the specific dried cherry commodity remains absent from visible recent RFP activity, suggesting either limited demand, sourcing through broader dried fruit line items, or procurement below the threshold of recent public notice records.
