UNSPSC 50332504: Dried organic bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332504 Dried organic bing cherries is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of specialty dried fruit products, though recent opportunities show the code's actual purchasing activity centers on broader dried fruit and nut procurement for school nutrition and correctional facilities rather than organic bing cherries specifically. State and local food service operations—primarily school districts and correctional departments—use this code family to source dried fruit items as components of meal programs, snacks, and dietary staples. The County of Santa Clara's recent ITB for dried fruits and nuts serving its Department of Correction illustrates the operational scope: the procurement specified dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends alongside nuts, delivered on annual contracts with five-year terms. School districts including Hancock County (Georgia), Fairfax County (Virginia), Liberty County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI (Missouri) have posted active solicitations for comprehensive food procurement that encompass dried fruit items alongside fresh produce, proteins, and staples, signaling that dried organic fruit sits within larger commodity baskets rather than standing alone.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader South, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. Georgia school districts—Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County—posted multiple IFBs and RFPs for food procurement during early 2026, establishing the state as a significant buyer. The Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts (response due February 5, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's dried prunes bid (response date February 20, 2026) anchored Western and corrections-sector activity. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with county education boards and school nutrition programs accounting for the majority of recent solicitations; correctional facilities and county governments represent secondary but active buyers. No recent opportunities specify organic bing cherries by name in the available records; the code appears tagged on broader food procurement RFPs and IFBs where dried fruit is a minor line item within expansive commodity lists rather than a contract focus.
