UNSPSC 50332529: Dried organic morello cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332529 Dried organic morello cherries (Commodity) does not show material recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope in state and local procurement. The recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly cover fresh produce and broad food commodities for school nutrition and correctional-facility feeding programs, not dried specialty fruit products. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items—fresh apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens for the 2026–27 school year—with delivery to three school sites and sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted an IFB in June 2026 for 115 line items of commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, via electronic submission. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food procurements: a broad IFB in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, canned vegetables, and fruits) to five TDCJ warehouse locations, with response due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum), and a separate bid for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) in 25-pound boxes for a Corpus location with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. The Georgia Department of Education also posted a food supplies IFB in May 2026 with a June 22 response date.

The code shows activity concentrated in school district nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools, City of Bridgeport Board of Education) and state criminal-justice food services (Texas TDCJ, Georgia Department of Education). All recent solicitations carry Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The mismatch between the code's name (dried organic morello cherries) and the actual scope of recent solicitations—which focus on fresh produce, broad food commodities, and proteins rather than specialty dried fruit—indicates that this code receives limited, misdirected tagging in state and local procurement practice and does not represent a reliable market signal for dried cherry product demand.
