UNSPSC 50372506: Canned or jarred organic black schmidt cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372506 Canned or jarred organic black schmidt cherries is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader food service and nutrition program sourcing, not as a standalone specialty item. Recent solicitations frame the code's actual procurement activity around institutional food supply contracts—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers—where canned and jarred fruits appear as line items within larger shelf-stable food portfolios rather than as targeted specialty purchases. Issuing bodies soliciting under or alongside this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Illinois Chief Procurement Office for veterans homes, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal education authorities (City of Bridgeport). The geographic spread of recent activity covers Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with Texas and Illinois showing particularly active institutional food procurement programs.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' June 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due June 26, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with August 2026 deadlines; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at the Central Distribution Center in Salem with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. These solicitations typically require FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions where applicable, and prequalification documentation including liability insurance, vendor references, and compliance certifications. Contract awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder evaluated on unit pricing and delivery capability, with terms spanning one to three years and frequent renewal options available at the issuing body's discretion.
