UNSPSC 50362504: Canned or jarred bing cherries

The variety of cherries known as bing cherries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50362504 Canned or jarred bing cherries is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the block are tagged with this code but request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service—not bing cherries specifically. The code shows minimal targeted procurement activity for its nominal scope; the mismatch between the code label and the actual solicitations indicates that the tagging may reflect broader fruit or canned-goods categorization rather than demand for this specific item.

State and local procurement under this code involves primarily school districts, state corrections and human services agencies, and municipal education boards sourcing food products for child nutrition programs, inmate feeding, and state-facility dining. Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026, requesting 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026; and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce and food supplies across the 2026–2027 school year, including procurements from Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. The code activity reflects demand for institutional bulk food sourcing with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and delivery to centralized warehouses or multiple school sites rather than retail consumers.
