UNSPSC 50372511: Canned or jarred organic chapman cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372511 Canned or jarred organic chapman cherries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though the recent solicitations under this code show little activity specifically for organic chapman cherries and instead reflect broader fresh and shelf-stable produce and food-service purchases. The actual work state and local governments buy under this code spans general food-service contracting for schools, counties, state facilities, and correctional institutions—driven by lunch and nutrition programs, senior services, and residential facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin, Texas), county departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state agencies (Illinois, Oregon, Texas), and municipal health and human services departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Texas HHSC). These entities are regular purchasers, with Illinois, Oregon, and Texas appearing multiple times in recent solicitations. The scope of procurement encompasses fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens), canned fruits and applesauce, dried fruit bars, and packaged food items in volumes ranging from single pallets to multiple truckloads, typically with firm fixed pricing and quarterly or annual contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County fresh-produce purchases for senior services; Hancock County Schools nutrition procurement), Texas (HHSC food and consumables for state supported living centers and TDCJ cafeteria products spanning five warehouse regions), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce in May and July 2026), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education nutrition center commodities). A representative opportunity is Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items, including canned proteins and vegetables, due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder by line item. Another is the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and DSHS statewide, with a prior contract value of $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026, with a contract term of September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, plus renewal options. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (ITBs S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026, both with Oregon fabrication and residency preferences of up to 10 percent combined). Buy American and domestic-content requirements (minimum 51 percent for processed products) appear consistently across school districts and USDA-funded programs, and most solicitations require compliance with prevailing wage, insurance, and record-retention standards.
