UNSPSC 50362516: Canned or jarred duke cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362516 Canned or jarred duke cherries, a Commodity code, sees no direct recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities—none of which align with the narrow scope of the code's nominal designation. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement use signals either miscoding in source systems or opportunistic code assignment that does not reflect genuine market demand for this specific product line.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities span school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and city governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, followed by state institutional food service. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (closing July 31, 2026, under S2910000017453) with a historical price of $21.84 per case and ODOC's 5% preference for Oregon goods plus 5% preference for Oregon-headquartered bidders, and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in Georgia (proposals due March 4, 2026, under PE64810NONST2026000000047) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not warrant pursuit based on posted opportunity volume or specificity.
