UNSPSC 50372508: Canned or jarred organic fiesta bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372508 Canned or jarred organic fiesta bing cherries is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, including school districts, county nutrition departments, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies. State and local governments use this code to source branded or equivalent processed fruit for institutional meal programs, emergency food assistance, and nutrition center operations. Issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home system, Georgia state procurement, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city education agencies (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Recent solicitations under related commodity food lines show institutional buyers consolidating purchases across dozens or hundreds of line items in single RFP, IFB, or RFQ actions rather than purchasing individual products in isolation, and most solicitations include brand-or-equivalent language permitting product substitution when quality and functional parity are met.

Recent activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary presence in the Midwest and Northeast. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' two ITBs for canned applesauce totaling approximately 6,664 cases across May and July 2026 at historical pricing near $21.84 per case, the State of Illinois' weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (June and August 2026), Texas Health and Human Services' IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million (bid response deadline March 19, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse regions with approximately 382 line items (extended response deadline May 4, 2026). Most institutional food solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity or grade specifications, Buy American provisions on processed goods (minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products), firm fixed pricing, and insurance minimums of $1 million general commercial liability. No recent opportunities specifically named canned fiesta bing cherries; the code shows little targeted activity but sits within a broader institutional commodity food procurement ecosystem where equivalent products move under broader RFPs and IFBs.
