UNSPSC 50372505: Canned or jarred organic black republic cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372505 Canned or jarred organic black republic cherries is a Commodity code that describes preserved fruit products state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition program supply chains. Recent opportunities show the code applied to school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers purchasing shelf-stable food inventories that include canned fruit alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and other staples. The work involves responding to competitive bids and RFPs for food commodity supply, often with strict USDA compliance, delivery scheduling, and brand-or-equivalent substitution rules. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county governments managing senior services, and city school districts. State governments—particularly Illinois, Oregon, Georgia, and Texas—and Georgia counties appear most active in the recent record, with multiple postings from the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Veterans Home facilities.

Recent opportunities anchoring this code's scope include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truckloads (response deadline July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide across 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years (bid deadline March 19, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly procurements, most recently due August 24, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center covering 115 line items with delivery through June 30, 2027. Most procurements require FOB destination prepaid delivery, compliance with Buy American provisions or USDA commodity standards, firm fixed pricing for stated periods, and minimum commercial general liability insurance. Protest restrictions and multi-award authority are common.
