UNSPSC 50372512: Canned or jarred organic lapin cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372512 Canned or jarred organic lapin cherries (Commodity) covers shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The scope encompasses canned and jarred fruit in multiple forms (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky) packed in juice, water, or light syrup, meeting USDA commodity or grading standards with minimum shelf-life requirements. Recent solicitations show this code is used alongside broader food-supply procurements that span dozens or hundreds of line items; the cherry product itself appears most commonly embedded within larger canned-fruit or shelf-stable commodity groups rather than as a standalone purchase. Issuing bodies include county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal education systems (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). The mix skews toward state correctional and health-services procurement, which operate high-volume institutional feeding operations with steady demand for standardized canned products.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and West, with prominent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (state veterans home), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a $4.5 million three-year IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers; Oregon Department of Corrections posted two canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026 (S2910000016975 and S2910000017453) for roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with historical pricing near $21.80 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon preference (5 percent for goods, 5 percent for resident bidders). Texas TDCJ procured cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) across 382 line items with FOB destination delivery to six distribution points. Hancock County Schools issued an IFB for fresh produce (June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year with Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic content for processed items). Award typically goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value basis; most contracts run 12 months with one or more renewal options and firm pricing for the initial term.
