UNSPSC 50372504: Canned or jarred organic bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372504 Canned or jarred organic bing cherries is a Commodity code that names a specific shelf-stable food product, but recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied to broader food-service procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying canned fruit (applesauce), dried fruit products (bars and crisps), fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for institutional food service — including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. Issuing bodies include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs via the Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and city education departments (City of Bridgeport). The code does not show standout repeat buyers — each issuer appears once in the recent-opportunities block.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027 under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, due August 24, 2026); Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026).
