UNSPSC 50332517: Dried organic early rivers cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332517 Dried organic early rivers cherries is a Commodity code that covers dried cherry products procured by state and local governments, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent opportunities show that state and local buyers under this code are purchasing fresh and dried produce for institutional food service operations, though the specific commodity (dried organic cherries) appears in broader fresh and processed produce solicitations. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia Department of Education), and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These entities source produce through IFB notices with firm pricing and Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, with awards typically made on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible or best-value basis to single or multiple vendors.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia issued a broader food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with scope details in an attached document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 after extension) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas, and separately solicited whole dried prunes (Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026). School nutrition programs dominate recent posting volume, with multi-year contracts and requirements for HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, product liability insurance, and compliance with USDA and FDA standards.
