UNSPSC 50362517: Canned or jarred early rivers cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362517 Canned or jarred early rivers cherries, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broader food and consumable procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs—none of which target the specific cherry product the code nominally describes. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school systems (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service represent the dominant buying categories, with recurring procurement from correctional and mental health facilities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior period value $1.5 million, response due July 13, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (estimated annual spending $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two, response due March 4, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 direct delivery to 52 schools (response due April 27, 2026). The code shows material procurement activity but a significant disconnect between the nominal commodity description and the actual goods being solicited, suggesting either miscoding at source or a taxonomy entry that no longer reflects current procurement patterns in the food service category.
