UNSPSC 50332516: Dried organic duke cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332516 Dried organic duke cherries is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried fruit products under this code primarily for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruit as component ingredients within broader fresh and processed produce contracts, though the code's nominal specificity to dried organic cherries does not align closely with the recent activity documented. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requested bids on commodities including fruit and vegetable products for its nutrition center, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued solicitations for cafeteria food products and dried prunes. School districts and state corrections departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with procurement offices handling consolidated nutrition purchasing across multiple delivery sites.
