UNSPSC 50322511: Dried chapman cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322511 Dried Chapman Cherries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products, primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show this code applied to broader fresh and dried produce categories rather than chapman cherries specifically—state and local education agencies, correctional systems, and school nutrition centers are soliciting fresh produce, dried fruits, and mixed food commodities that fall within the dried fruit family. The work encompasses specification and procurement of produce meeting USDA grade standards, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food safety protocols, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm-fixed pricing for contract periods typically running one fiscal or calendar year.

School districts, state departments, and state correctional agencies drive the recent activity. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce in June 2026 with over 200 line items and delivery to three school sites; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026 under MBE/CBE provisions; the State of Georgia posted a food supplies solicitation in May 2026; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products in May 2026 covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas; and TDCJ also solicited dried prunes in April 2026 with a 1,400-box minimum order. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The code shows active procurement momentum in school nutrition and correctional food service channels, with responses typically due within two to four weeks of posting and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria.
