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

UNSPSC 50372519 Canned or jarred organic santina cherries is a Commodity code that describes a single shelf-stable food product line purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state agencies, county governments, and school districts buying canned or jarred fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader categories of shelf-stable produce—for correctional facilities, state veterans' homes, state supported living centers, schools, senior services, and public nutrition programs. The work is straightforward procurement of food commodities for distribution to multiple end-use locations within the buyer's jurisdiction, with emphasis on USDA compliance, specified case quantities, firm fixed pricing per unit, FOB destination delivery, and commodity-grade certifications. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport), and county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners). The State of Illinois has posted multiple food-service solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in recent months, indicating repeat procurement activity at that facility.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026 (awarded to lowest responsive and responsible bidder); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical unit price of $21.84 per case and 5 percent state-of-origin and resident-bidder preferences; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items for state hospitals and living centers (bid deadline March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear in school district and nutrition center procurements. Delivery to multiple locations within a jurisdiction, 24–72 hour fulfillment windows, and electronic ordering systems (such as TITAN School Solutions and OregonBuys) are common requirements. Payment terms typically run 30–45 days net; commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million is standard.
