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 sees limited direct application in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty organic cherry products in canned or jarred form—does not align with the actual buying patterns documented in recent solicitations. State and local agencies posting under or near this code are instead procuring broad categories of canned and fresh food products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers, with recent opportunities emphasizing mainstream canned fruits (applesauce, pears), fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), proteins, dairy, and consumable food service supplies rather than specialty organic preserves.

Solicitations are being posted by school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Dallas ISD), state-level procurement offices (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), and county education agencies across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent activity includes Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical award at $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and estimated historical spend of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables due June 26, 2026, and the Douglas County School System posted RFP SN 26-004 covering fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending. The code shows little recent activity specifically for organic specialty cherry products; procurement in this tier focuses on volume food service contracting for institutional meals and institutional supply chains rather than niche organic products.
