UNSPSC 50362507: Canned or jarred black tartarian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362507 Canned or jarred black tartarian cherries is a Commodity code that names a single food product line; however, state and local procurement activity under this code shows instead a broad portfolio of shelf-stable and fresh food procurement spanning canned fruits, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of education and departments of community services, state departments of corrections and health and human services, municipal school districts and city departments of public purchases, and state-level procurement offices. Recent opportunities reveal that state and local governments use this code family to tag food service supply agreements for institutional feeding—correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, school nutrition programs, and veteran homes. Scope varies from single-item buys like applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, two successive ITBs in May and July 2026) to multi-hundred-line-item comprehensive food service contracts covering proteins, produce, dairy, bakery, and consumable supplies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, $4.5 million estimated value over three years; Texas Department of Criminal Justice, 382 line items across five geographic distribution hubs). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed items are standard in school nutrition procurements.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with particular concentration in Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, June 2026; State of Georgia, May 2026; Hancock County Board of Education, June 2026), Texas (Austin Independent School District, June 2026; Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, June 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice, May 2026), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders, June and August 2026), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, applesauce procurement, May and July 2026), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education, June 2026). The most recent substantial opportunity is Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with an October 19, 2026 response deadline; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for 115 line items across multiple categories closed June 26, 2026. Pricing in recent awards ranges from $21.83–$21.84 per case for canned applesauce (Oregon ODOC) to estimated $1.5 million annual expenditure at Texas HHSC facilities. Most solicitations use sealed-bid or informal-quote notice types; payment terms typically range from net 30 to net 45 days, with delivery to designated institutional distribution centers or central warehouses. Prevailing wage, prompt payment, and state-mandated insurance (commonly $1 million general commercial liability) are routine requirements.
