UNSPSC 50332502: Dried organic brooks cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332502 Dried organic brooks cherries is a Commodity code that covers dehydrated specialty cherry products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities for nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations show that dried cherries and similar dried fruit commodities are bought as components within broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. School districts and state purchasing offices aggregate dried fruit into larger fresh-produce and food-commodity RFPs where multiple produce categories and packaged goods are specified together. The issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments (such as Hancock County Board of Education and the Bridgeport Board of Education), state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of state agencies (Georgia), and correctional-system procurement offices (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products are standard across these solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a response date of June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids for 115 commodity line items (including fruit and vegetable products) due June 26, 2026, for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 food-product line items with a response date extended to May 4, 2026, and coverage across six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. Georgia's Statewide Procurement Division posted food-supplies and kitchen-products solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 due June 22, 2026. A related TDCJ bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 due date demonstrates that dried-fruit procurement occurs within dedicated procurement cycles tied to correctional-system meal planning.
