UNSPSC 50362511: Canned or jarred chapman cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362511 Canned or jarred chapman cherries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within canned fruit procurement, though state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct alignment with chapman cherries specifically. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments purchase canned and jarred fruit products—applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and fresh-equivalent preserved items—for institutional food service in corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and health and human services residential centers. The mix of issuing bodies spans state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD), and county school boards (Hancock County). School districts dominate the recent activity, with canned and jarred fruit typically bundled into larger food service contracts rather than procured as standalone line items. Corrections and institutional residential facilities round out the buyer base, purchasing canned fruit in volume for cafeteria operations.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Missouri and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with 5 percent Oregon-goods and 5 percent Oregon-headquarter preferences totaling 10 percent combined; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce covering the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026) including multiple apple varieties and berries; and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 (originally due February 23, 2026, extended to March 19, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide names canned goods within a 210-item scope with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Most school district procurements use IFB or RFP methods with firm fixed pricing for 12-month periods beginning July 1, and several apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products.
