UNSPSC 50362532: Canned or jarred royal cherries

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

UNSPSC 50362532 Canned or jarred royal cherries is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure under this specific code designation; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations directly for royal cherries, instead reflecting mislabeled or broadly categorized food service procurements. School districts, state correctional and health facilities, and regional educational cooperatives dominate the issuing bodies in the recent opportunities sample, but they are buying comprehensive food service supplies—canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, grains, and consumable supplies—rather than royal cherries as a distinct line item. The code's nominal scope does not match the purchasing reality in state and local contracting right now, suggesting either underutilization of this commodity code or systematic miscoding in the source systems of the jurisdictions posting these opportunities.

Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois based on recent posts. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned fruit applesauce, bids due July 31, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, proposals due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (fresh produce for 2026-27 school year, bids due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 term contract, bids due April 27, 2026). School nutrition programs and institutional food service facilities represent the core buyer segment, with contract values ranging from under $50,000 for single-item buys to $9 million annually for integrated food supply and distribution. Pursuit under this code requires either clarifying internally whether the actual scope is royal cherries specifically or reclassifying to broader produce, canned goods, or food service commodity codes that align with how state and local buyers actually tag these opportunities.
