UNSPSC 50372502: Canned or jarred organic brooks cherries

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 does not reflect the actual purchasing activity state and local governments conduct under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, supplemental food and consumables, fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food service distribution—none of which are organic or specifically brooks cherries. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local food service procurement, particularly within school nutrition and corrections departments, centers on broader commodity purchases including canned fruits, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and packaged goods rather than specialty organic berry products. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Missouri, and the State of Illinois are active in food procurement, but their recent solicitations span general food service supply rather than the narrow product category this code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of food service procurement activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts and corrections departments driving the largest volumes. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response date) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 response date) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (March 4, 2026 response date) for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas with an estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. School districts consistently solicit under broad food-service classifications, while state agencies managing corrections, health services, and education procurement represent the largest repeat buyers in this space. The code's narrow product definition does not align with the breadth of food service provisioning state and local governments actually pursue.
