UNSPSC 50332518: Dried organic ruby bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332518 Dried organic ruby bing cherries (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities; the opportunities posted under related dried-fruit and fresh-produce categories reflect broader food-service procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and district-level grocery supply, but none identify dried organic ruby bing cherries as a line item. Recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the County of Santa Clara (California), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice do itemize dried fruits—including dried prunes, raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes—and fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items, but the specific commodity of dried organic ruby bing cherries does not surface in the available bid documents or line-item listings. The mismatch between the code and actual procurement activity suggests either minimal demand for this specific product under state and local contracts, a tendency for procurement offices to tag opportunities with parent codes rather than narrow commodity codes, or vendor reliance on standing orders outside formal solicitation cycles.

School districts and county nutrition programs dominate activity in the dried-fruit and fresh-produce space generally, along with state departments of corrections and county sheriff departments. However, absent documented recent solicitations explicitly requesting dried organic ruby bing cherries, the code cannot support a confident assessment of issuing-body concentration, geographic hotspots, or representative opportunity profile specific to this commodity. Firms pursuing this code should monitor related Family and Class codes (50332000 Dried fruits, 50330000 Fruits and vegetables) for broader dried-fruit and fresh-produce procurements and engage directly with school nutrition administrators, state agricultural-commodity purchasing divisions, and institutional food-service facilities to identify off-solicitation or standing-order arrangements for specialty dried fruits.
