UNSPSC 50332520: Dried organic geans/guines cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic geans/guines cherries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332520 Dried organic geans/guines cherries is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce, frozen foods, dried fruits, and comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional cafeteria operations — none of which are dried organic cherries. The mismatch between the code name and procurement activity suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local sourcing systems or that this code serves as a catchall for dried and processed fruits more broadly. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, including 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), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); other bodies include the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, the State of Georgia, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the County of Santa Clara, California. The activity spans institutional food service procurement — the procurement of bulk groceries, produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and nutrition centers on an annual or multi-year contract basis.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with notable activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Georgia, IFB, due June 26, 2026) for 200+ line items of fresh produce delivered to three school locations on a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut seeking commodities including fruits and vegetables for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB, electronic submission due June 26, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five TDCJ warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern) to supply 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the County of Santa Clara issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food services (bids due February 5, 2026). All solicitations enforce Buy American requirements, HACCP and food safety compliance, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and delivery on FOB Destination or destination freight prepaid terms. School nutrition program contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 and carry renewal options; correctional and county contracts often span three to five years with optional annual extensions.
