UNSPSC 50362505: Canned or jarred black republic cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362505 Canned or jarred black republic cherries, a Commodity code, does not see substantial recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, groceries, cafeteria food products, and supplemental food and consumables—most of which fall outside the specific cherry category. The one identifiable mismatch is Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453, posted July 10, 2026 with bids due July 31, 2026, which procures canned fruit applesauce (not cherries) in an estimated 4,760 cases for delivery to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem. A June 2026 Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017449) for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center referenced broader NIGP classifications but the detailed scope does not isolate canned cherries as a line item.

State and local buyers in the recent record—primarily school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—source canned and jarred fruits as part of broader food service and nutrition program contracts. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, school districts across Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Oregon, and state health and human services commissions. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, though the code itself shows no recent standalone solicitations for canned or jarred black republic cherries specifically. Vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor school nutrition RFPs and state institutional food service ITBs, where canned cherries may appear as line items within larger produce or commodity-food bundles rather than standalone procurements.
