UNSPSC 50322532: Dried royal cherries

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

UNSPSC 50322532 Dried royal cherries, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried fruit products purchased by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code irregularly and often tag broader dried-fruit and food-supply procurements with it, though the actual opportunities reveal limited specific demand for dried cherries by name. School districts dominate the issuing bodies in this dataset, including Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, along with the Douglas County School System in Georgia serving 30 districts through a buying cooperative. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County in California also appear as buyers of dried and specialty fruits for institutional feeding. Food service is the dominant end use, with procurement occurring in school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The code does not support significant recent activity specific to dried royal cherries alone; instead, dried cherries appear as a minor line item within broader fresh-produce, grocery, or dried-fruit procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary presence in Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items but not explicitly naming dried cherries, the County of Santa Clara's Invitation to Bids for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) requiring five line items including dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis for Elmwood Correctional Facility, and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) requiring 76 items minimum with firm fixed pricing for one year. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products (response due May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 food items across proteins, dairy, grains, and produce. Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear across all school-district procurements. No opportunities in the source specifically solicit dried royal cherries as a primary or named line item, and bidders should treat this code as a secondary or incidental product within larger institutional food-service buys rather than as a standalone procurement category with current market activity.
