UNSPSC 50372513: Canned or jarred organic larian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372513 Canned or jarred organic larian cherries is a Commodity code that frames state and local food procurement narrowly, but the recent opportunities tagged under it show a much broader pattern of institutional food service purchasing—primarily shelf-stable and fresh produce for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and health and human services campuses. The code's nominal scope (organic cherry products) appears to misalign with what is actually being solicited; opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce varieties, proteins, dairy, bakery items, and mixed commodity food service lines. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), cities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and special-purpose institutional operators. Food service contracting appears concentrated among corrections, school nutrition, and state-supported living centers rather than distributed evenly across jurisdiction types.

Recent activity spans multiple states with visible clustering in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections multiple solicitations), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026, to be delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026, covering September–December); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, at an estimated historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (proposals due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (estimated contract value up to $4.5 million over three years, bid due March 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (bids due June 26, 2026, through the OpenGov Procurement Portal). Pricing is firm fixed during initial contract terms in most cases, with delivery FOB destination and typically 30 to 45 days for first delivery. The code shows active, ongoing procurement but little evidence that organic cherry products specifically are a material purchase driver within these solicitations.
