UNSPSC 50332525: Dried organic tartarian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332525 Dried organic tartarian cherries is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products supplied to state and local institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments buy under this code primarily dried fruits for incorporation into school meal menus, institutional nutrition programs, and food service distribution systems. The recent solicitations show school districts and correctional agencies sourcing dried fruits as components of larger food procurement contracts rather than as standalone line items; when dried fruits appear separately, they are typically bundled with other dried fruits and nuts under combined procurement vehicles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Connecticut, and Missouri. The Georgia Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with responses due March 4, 2026. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 soliciting dried fruits and nuts (including dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix) for the Department of Correction at Elmwood Correctional Facility, with bids due February 5, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026 and an extended response date of May 4, 2026. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia—including Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Liberty County Board of Education—posted food procurement ITBs and RFPs between March and June 2026, all with response deadlines in April or later, each encompassing hundreds of food line items where dried fruits may represent a small component of broader nutrition supply contracts.
