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

UNSPSC 50372502 Canned or jarred organic brooks cherries is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show this specific code capturing a wider range of canned fruit procurement activity than the narrow product name suggests. State and local governments are acquiring canned applesauce, canned fruit, and dried fruit products through this code tier, primarily for corrections facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal education authorities. The work encompasses sealed-bid and informal quote procurements for bulk food commodities delivered to central distribution centers, nutrition centers, and institutional kitchens, with delivery requirements typically FOB destination and firm fixed pricing over one- to three-year contract periods.

Recent activity spans multiple states with particular concentration in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut.
