UNSPSC 50362500: Canned or jarred cherries

Any of numerous trees and shrubs (genus prunus) of the rose family that bear pale yellow to deep red or blackish smooth-skinned drupes enclosing a smooth seed and that include some cultivated for their fruits or ornamental flowers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362500 Canned or jarred cherries, a Class code, does not appear in current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities identified under this code encompass canned and fresh fruit procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services facilities, and state hospitals, but the specific products solicited—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, mixed canned fruits, and general grocery items—diverge significantly from the code's stated scope of canned or jarred cherries. The mismatch suggests either systematic coding errors in the underlying procurement systems or that cherry-specific demand is being tagged under a broader commodity classification.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State agencies also solicit regularly: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, California Department of State Hospitals–Atascadero, and the Illinois Chief Procurement Office. The geographic footprint spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California, with notable concentration in Georgia school nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026). Because the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope, businesses should verify category accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged to 50362500.
