UNSPSC 50322525: Dried tartarian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322525 Dried tartarian cherries is a Commodity code, and state and local governments solicit this code to procure fresh produce, processed foods, and related kitchen commodities for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations. The scope extends beyond dried cherries alone — recent opportunities encompass broad fresh produce line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty fruits), proteins (beef brisket, chicken, turkey, pollock), dairy products, frozen entrees, grains, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, and miscellaneous staples with detailed USDA grade and packaging specifications. School districts and state agencies represent the primary issuing bodies. The Buy American Provision governs most solicitations, requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content for processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance confirmation, state health inspection records, product formulations, nutritional analyses, proof of certifications, and commercial general liability insurance. Payment typically runs net 30 to net 45 days, with firm fixed pricing for the contract term and delivery to designated institutional locations.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026, response deadline and delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities on June 2, 2026, for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items with an electronic submission deadline of June 26, 2026, and MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026, due date. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an IFB on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products encompassing approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. A prior TDCJ dried prunes solicitation (IFB No. IW236532) for whole, pitted prunes with a Corpus Christi delivery area shows historical precedent for dried specialty fruit procurement within the broader food commodities category.
