UNSPSC 50332510: Dried organic king cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332510 Dried organic king cherries (Commodity) covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent opportunities show that school districts and state corrections departments are actively soliciting dried fruit alongside broader fresh produce and food commodity categories, though the dried king cherry line item itself appears as one among many dried and fresh fruit options in multi-item food contracts rather than as a standalone SKU. State and local buyers under this code are predominantly school nutrition departments, county boards of education, and state corrections agencies acquiring food for cafeteria and institutional meal programs. The scope spans dried fruit procurement with specified quality grades, packaging standards (typically sealed food-grade containers within cardboard boxes), case sizes, and unit counts, often bundled with requirements for HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, and traceability for food-safety recall.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year, encompassing berries, fruits, and vegetables with deliveries to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 on April 23, 2026 for whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size (1,400 boxes minimum, U.S. Grade B), with the original February 18, 2026 opening date revised to February 20, 2026 via Amendment No. 1; and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026).
