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

UNSPSC 50362514 Canned or jarred dark guineas cherries (Commodity) does not match the state and local procurement activity shown in the source. Recent opportunities tagged to this code consistently solicit canned and fresh fruit products broadly—applesauce, pears, fresh produce, and mixed grocery items—rather than the specific dark guineas cherry line item the code nominally describes. The source spans food service procurement across multiple issuing bodies, including state departments of corrections and health services, school districts, and boards of education, with no recent activity concentrated on dark guineas cherries in any form. State procurement offices appear to use this code as a catch-all for canned and fresh fruit categories rather than as a narrow commodity designation.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with solicitations from Hancock County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Liberty County (Georgia), Fairfax County (Virginia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Douglas County (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas), alongside state-level buyers including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Chief Procurement Office. Recent opportunities span ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates ranging from February through July 2026, and geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date) requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a 5% Oregon goods and vendor preference, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 (April 23, 2026 response date) requesting 72 fresh produce line items for delivery to 60 school sites with annual estimated quantities reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples. School nutrition programs typically impose Buy American requirements and commodity compliance standards; pricing is commonly firm-fixed for contract terms with occasional midterm adjustment provisions tied to published price indices; and delivery requirements regularly specify FOB destination with prepaid freight to central warehouses or multiple school sites on defined schedules.
