UNSPSC 50372517: Canned or jarred organic early rivers cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372517 Canned or jarred organic early rivers cherries (Commodity) is used by state and local governments to procure shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, institutional nutrition programs, and senior services; the code appears in practice to span not only organic early rivers cherries but also canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and other processed and fresh food items supplied to corrections, schools, health and human services, county government, and senior services operations. Issuing bodies across this code include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, county boards of education, county commissioners, municipal departments of public purchases, and state veterans' homes. The mix skews heavily toward institutional food service procurement by corrections, education, and human services agencies rather than retail or commercial grocers.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants posted June 12 and August 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce in two separate ITBs due June 2 and July 31, 2026, each totaling approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, for the Department of Community Services; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have each posted broad commodity food procurements; and the Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Pricing in recent awards has ranged from approximately $21.83 to $21.84 per case for canned applesauce (Oregon historical award to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner, January–June 2026) to the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center procurement's historical guideline value of $1.5 million for the prior year, with Texas TDCJ cafeteria food procurement estimated at volumes based on one year of prior usage without disclosed contract ceiling.
