UNSPSC 50332508: Dried organic fiesta bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332508 Dried organic fiesta bing cherries is a Commodity code representing a single specialized produce item that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities as part of broader fresh produce or commodity food solicitations. The code reflects a narrow product category within the much larger dried fruit and prepared food supply chains that support institutional food service operations. Recent state and local opportunities show little direct demand for dried organic fiesta bing cherries as a standalone line item; instead, dried fruit procurement appears embedded in larger master grocery or fresh produce contracts where school districts and correctional facilities source multiple dried fruit varieties alongside fresh produce, grains, proteins, and prepared entrees to meet USDA nutrition standards and meal planning requirements.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix for food procurement at this tier, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all actively soliciting food supply contracts in the past four months. Correctional facilities and county government represent secondary buyers, as evidenced by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department procurement for dried fruits and nuts and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food solicitation. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, which hosts multiple school district solicitations, with Virginia, Missouri, California, and Texas showing individual recent opportunities. The County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts at the Elmwood Correctional Facility represents the most directly relevant recent activity to dried fruit supply, though that solicitation bundles raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans rather than specifying fiesta bing cherries by variety. School nutrition programs overwhelmingly use RFP and IFB formats with firm fixed-price or cost-plus terms running July through June fiscal years; all require Buy American compliance and USDA nutrition standards; and most reserve the right to award to multiple vendors on a line-item basis to optimize cost and service coverage across dispersed school sites.
