UNSPSC 50322513: Dried larian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322513 Dried larian cherries, a Commodity code, encompasses dried and processed fruit products that state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public food services procure for meal preparation and service. The recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies sourcing preserved fruit alongside fresh produce and other cafeteria staples, though dried cherries per se appear rarely in itemized lists; instead, state and local buyers use this code to tag broader dried-fruit and processed-food categories that include prunes, dried vegetables, and shelf-stable commodity items for institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code are primarily school districts (independent school boards of education at county and municipal levels) and state departments operating correctional and social-service facilities. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut represent typical school-district buyers, while the State of Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent state-level institutional food services.
