UNSPSC 50362530: Canned or jarred royal ann cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362530 Canned or jarred royal ann cherries (Commodity) shows scattered activity across state and local food service procurement, but the recent opportunities block contains no bids or proposals actually soliciting canned or jarred royal ann cherries by name. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable fruit products for institutional dining, primarily through school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, independent school districts, boards of education, state health commissions, and regional school cooperatives across multiple states. Representative recent solicitations show state and local buyers seeking canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), fresh produce and eggs for school nutrition (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), and comprehensive food and consumable products for state supported living centers and institutional facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). Pricing for recent comparable canned fruit awards has ranged from $21.827 to $21.84 per case in Oregon corrections procurement.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with school districts in these states accounting for the majority of recent solicitations under broadly scoped food commodity codes. The issuing-body mix is dominated by school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal education entities (Bridgeport Board of Education). However, the code itself does not appear frequently enough in recent opportunities to constitute a distinct procurement pipeline; canned fruit items tend to be bundled into broader food-supply solicitations tagged under general commodity or grocery codes rather than solicited individually by fruit variety. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition RFPs and state institutional food service contracts in high-activity regions (Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon) and prepare to bid as part of multi-line canned-goods packages rather than single-product opportunities.
