UNSPSC 50332501: Dried organic amarelle cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332501 Dried organic amarelle cherries (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity captured under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under the code name dried fruits and nuts — such as dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, walnuts, and pecans — but not dried cherries specifically. School districts and other state and local jurisdictions dominate the activity, driven by child nutrition programs serving K–12 and correctional facility food services.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia account for the plurality of recent solicitations, with county boards of education in Liberty County and Douglas County, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Hancock County Schools all posting RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs for food procurement in the first half of 2026. The County of Santa Clara Department of Correction and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procure dried fruits and nuts. The Santa Clara County ITB (ITBPRCFY260617) for dried fruits and nuts posted January 28, 2026, with bids due February 5, 2026, specified raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for the Elmwood Correctional Facility; the contract runs five years with firm pricing for Year 1 and capped annual increases thereafter. Separate large-scale food procurement RFPs from Douglas County School System for food supply and distribution (due February 18, 2026) and fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, serving 30 school districts with estimated Area One spending of $4.4 million) show the scope of school nutrition demand. The sourcing, specification, and Buy American compliance requirements common across these solicitations reflect federal child nutrition program standards, and delivery schedules typically mandate Monday–Friday service with multiple school sites. Code activity shows no indication that amarelle cherries — a specialized dried cherry variety — command significant state and local procurement volume at present.
