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 is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show virtually no procurement activity for dried cherries or specialty dried fruit at the commodity level. Instead, the records reflect a sharp mismatch: the opportunities span broad food service categories—fresh produce, eggs, proteins, grains, dairy, and general grocery items for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities—with only one record (Santa Clara County's Dried Fruits and Nuts ITB, posted January 28, 2026, with a February 5 response deadline) addressing dried fruits as a line item. Even that solicitation bundles dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix with nuts, not specific dried fruit varieties like king cherries. School districts and county purchasing offices issuing under this code are soliciting comprehensive annual food supply contracts; dried specialty fruits are occasionally embedded as minor line items within much larger commodity procurements rather than as standalone contracts. The code does not appear to reflect current state and local procurement practice for dried organic king cherries as a distinct product family.

The recent opportunity mix shows heavy concentration among K–12 school districts and departments of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia) and correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office). Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and California, with school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer category. Standalone dried-fruit procurements at the commodity level are not evident; when dried fruits appear, they are absorbed into integrated food-service RFPs or IFBs serving institutional food operations. The code's nominal scope (dried organic king cherries) diverges substantially from what these jurisdictions are actually purchasing, suggesting that the code may be misapplied in the dataset or that demand for this specific product through state and local formal procurement channels is minimal or negligible.
