UNSPSC 50322512: Dried lapin cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322512 Dried lapin cherries, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically for dried cherries and instead reflect broader dried-fruit and fresh-produce procurement across school nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, and municipal food service operations. The work involves sourcing finished dried fruit products meeting USDA grade standards and packaging specifications for delivery to institutional kitchens and distribution centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of criminal justice, state procurement divisions, county school boards, and municipal departments of public purchases, with school districts and correctional facilities representing the primary institutional buyers under related commodity codes in this family.

Recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with the most directly relevant solicitation appearing in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes (issued April 23, 2026, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026), specifying U.S. Grade B quality in 60-70 count size, 25-pound boxes, minimum order 1,400 boxes for the Corpus Christi location. Broader food-service solicitations that may include dried fruit among multiple commodity lines include the Texas Comptroller's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2), the State of Georgia food supplies solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 (due June 22, 2026), and school nutrition RFBs from Hancock County Schools in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply across school nutrition contracts; USDA grade certification, HACCP plans, and standard commercial general liability insurance are typical requirements.
