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 encompassing dried cherry products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies for food-service operations. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope; among the five recent opportunities posted, only one solicitation from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice explicitly names dried fruit procurement (whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, packed 25 pounds per box). The remaining four opportunities—from school nutrition programs in Hancock County, Georgia; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; the State of Georgia; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria operations—target broad fresh and processed produce and food-service categories rather than specialty dried-cherry items. School districts and state correctional departments emerge as the primary buying bodies, with education nutrition centers and correctional kitchen operations as end-users. Issuing bodies are typically procurement departments or boards of education acting as central purchasing agents for multi-location food-service networks.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with recent IFBs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of TDCJ). The most directly relevant recent opportunity was the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB No. IW236532 for dried prunes with a revised due date of February 20, 2026, calling for a minimum of 1,400 boxes to the Corpus Christi location. Other education-focused solicitations—including Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport commodities procurement (IFB posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026)—encompass broad produce and food baskets but do not isolate dried-cherry line items in their posted summaries. The code appears underutilized relative to broader produce and foodservice commodity codes, suggesting that dried organic cherry procurement may be rolled into larger food-service aggregations rather than solicited as standalone specialty items.
