UNSPSC 50332532: Dried organic royal cherries

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

UNSPSC 50332532 Dried organic royal cherries is a Commodity code naming a single product line that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope in state and local solicitations appears limited to school nutrition and institutional food service contracting, where district and state purchasing offices and correctional agencies procure dried fruit products alongside broader fresh produce, commodity, and cafeteria food service contracts. The recent opportunities block contains one directly relevant solicitation—a Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for whole, pitted, dried prunes (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026)—which establishes the product specification pattern (U.S. grade certification, sealed food-grade packaging, case size and count detail, USDA compliance) but does not show active procurement specifically for dried organic royal cherries. The other three opportunities in the block (Hancock County Schools fresh produce, City of Bridgeport commodities, State of Georgia food supplies, and Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products) name broad food categories encompassing fresh vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and staple items, but do not itemize dried cherries or other dried fruit products in the available summaries.

State and local procurement activity under dried cherry sourcing appears concentrated among school districts and state correctional agencies in the Southeast and Texas, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice representing the visible recent buyers. The TDCJ prunes solicitation (IFB IW236532, response due February 20, 2026) is the only recent opportunity explicitly addressing a dried fruit product; the specification calls for U.S. Grade B quality prunes in 60–70 count size, packed in sealed food-grade polybags within sealed cardboard boxes of 25 pounds each, with USDA grade certification required. School district and state institutional food service contracts typically enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products and mandate HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and comprehensive compliance documentation. The code shows limited visible activity—procurement interest appears episodic rather than routine—and business development professionals should monitor school district RFPs and state correctional agency IFBs for sporadic commodity and specialty dried fruit opportunities rather than expect steady volume under this narrow Commodity code.
