UNSPSC 50332506: Dried organic black schmidt cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332506 Dried organic black Schmidt cherries is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. The code's abstract commodity name does not reflect recent solicitation activity; state and local buyers under this code are actually purchasing diverse dried fruit and nut products—including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans—as components of comprehensive food supply agreements rather than as standalone organic cherry purchases. Recent opportunities show school districts, county corrections departments, and state agencies bundling dried fruits into multi-item food procurement solicitations with firm fixed pricing, delivery to multiple sites, USDA compliance requirements, and Buy American provisions. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education), county school systems (Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ), and county corrections facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). The breadth of issuing bodies and the frequency of food service solicitations indicate that dried fruit components sit within larger commodity food contracts rather than generating standalone procurement vehicles.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with the Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, and Hancock County Board of Education all issuing produce and food supply contracts between January and June 2026. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) on a five-year term with firm pricing for Year 1 and optional annual increases capped at a bidder-specified percentage, due February 5, 2026. Texas TDCJ issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations with responses due May 4, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 under IFB 2000004323 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, requiring bidders to demonstrate three years of food delivery experience and bid on a minimum of 76 items. Dried fruits and nuts appear most prominently in Santa Clara County's correctional-facility contract and within broader school nutrition procurement vehicles that combine fresh and processed produce, proteins, grains, and supplies under single awards or multi-vendor line-item allocations.
