UNSPSC 50372518: Canned or jarred organic ruby bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372518, Canned or jarred organic ruby bing cherries, is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable fruit products as part of broader food-service supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and senior services. The recent solicitations show that this code sits within larger food-procurement vehicles that bundle dozens or hundreds of food-service line items; state and local issuing bodies rarely solicit canned cherries alone but instead issue rolling quarterly or annual food-supply RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs that include canned fruits alongside proteins, vegetables, dairy, and dry goods. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Illinois, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Oregon Department of Corrections have all posted food-procurement solicitations in the past five months that encompass this commodity class within broader meal-provision scopes. School districts, county boards of education, state corrections systems, veterans-services agencies, and state-supported living centers are the repeat issuing bodies across this code's activity.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026, both due in early June or late July) to supply corrections facilities on a quarterly basis; Gwinnett County (Georgia) issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026, for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables due October 19; the State of Illinois posted multiple quarterly food-order RFPs for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state-supported living centers with a historical value of $4.5 million over three years (May 19, 2026). Pricing for canned applesauce has historically tracked around $21.83–$21.84 per case in Oregon corrections procurements. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear in school-district and state-facility food procurements, with minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients mandated for processed products in several Texas and Connecticut school solicitations.
