UNSPSC 50332531: Dried organic ranier cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332531 Dried organic ranier cherries (Commodity) covers dried cherry products purchased by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show broader fresh and processed produce procurement spanning school nutrition, correctional facilities, and municipal food services rather than dried organic ranier cherries specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both soliciting fresh produce and commodity foods under related codes in recent months; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia also appear as repeat purchasers of food products. These jurisdictions typically buy produce and food items through IFB notices with sealed-bid responses, firm-fixed pricing for contract periods running twelve months or longer, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and delivery to multiple institutional locations with transportation prepaid by the vendor.

Activity under dried organic ranier cherries appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, IFB, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of fresh produce including specialty fruits and berries for the 2026–27 school year; Commodities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, IFB, due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items of food products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center; Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products (State of Georgia, IFB, due June 22, 2026); and Cafeteria Food Products (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, IFB, due May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas in Texas. A separate solicitation for Prunes—Corpus Location (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, bid due February 20, 2026) targeted dried fruit specifically, requesting U.S. Grade B pitted prunes in 60–70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes. Recent opportunities emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP plans for fresh produce, nutritional documentation, and capability to deliver on short notice; many require MBE or CBE certifications under local ordinances.
