UNSPSC 50362506: Canned or jarred black schmidt cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362506 Canned or jarred black schmidt cherries is a Commodity code that rarely appears in recent state and local procurement activity. The single concrete solicitation supporting this code—Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453, posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026—seeks canned applesauce rather than black schmidt cherries, suggesting either a code mislabeling or a narrow product category that state and local governments source sporadically. The source shows no recurring buyers, no geographic concentration, and no pattern of activity under this specific commodity. Across the recent opportunities block, the code appears once, unmatched to its nominal scope.

State and local food procurement at this tier typically emphasizes broader categories—canned fruit, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery sourcing—rather than named fruit varieties or specific branded items. The applesauce ITB illustrates the actual work: ODOC requested 4,760 cases delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem over five truck loads, with firm FOB destination pricing quoted per case and a historical price point of $21.84 per case. The solicitation applied Oregon state preferences (5 percent for goods fabricated or processed in-state, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). No other opportunities in the block reference black schmidt cherries or match this commodity code, indicating this code does not reflect current state and local procurement volume or activity patterns. If pursuing this code, focus on institutional food service for corrections and social-services facilities in the Pacific Northwest rather than expecting sustained or geographically dispersed demand.
