UNSPSC 50322531: Dried ranier cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322531 Dried raisins cherries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food product line that state and local governments source primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional food services. The recent opportunities show procurement activity centering on dried fruit products as components of larger meal-service contracts rather than standalone dried-cherry-specific bids. School districts across multiple states are sourcing dried fruits as ingredients within broader grocery, produce, and food-supply solicitations that emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American content requirements, and nutrition standards. Correctional facilities also procure dried fruits—Santa Clara County's 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to its Elmwood Correctional Facility specified dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend alongside nuts, signaling institutional food-service demand beyond K–12 settings. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county/special-purpose food-service authorities; recent activity shows Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Santa Clara County (California) all soliciting food products with dried-fruit components under IFB and RFP notice types. School nutrition programs dominate the market, with most opportunities requiring firm pricing across full contract periods, Buy American compliance, nutritional label documentation, and delivery to multiple school sites.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia appearing most frequently (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County cooperative), followed by Virginia (Fairfax County) and Missouri (Rockwood). West Coast and Texas procurement also appears—Santa Clara County issued its ITB for dried fruits and nuts in January 2026, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products and prunes in separate 2026 bids. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items with a June 26 response due date, and Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) requesting dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend for correctional food services with a February 5 response deadline. The code appears sparsely represented as a standalone commodity; most dried-fruit solicitation occurs as part of larger food-supply buys where dried fruits serve as ingredients rather than primary procurement focus. Contract periods are typically July 1 through June 30 (fiscal-year aligned), with firm pricing required throughout and payment on Net 30–45 day terms.
