UNSPSC 50372521 Canned or jarred organic sonata cherries is a Commodity code that sees demand from school districts, county agencies, state correctional and health facilities, and municipal governments procuring shelf-stable produce and preserved fruits for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing broader fresh and processed fruit procurement—including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce alongside canned items—driven by institutional food-service budgets. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Schools in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), state health and human services facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code captures both small-volume IFB and informal quote activity for specific line items and larger multi-category food-supply contracts; representative procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid on canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and the Texas HHSC solicitation for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0016792V2, estimated value up to $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Texas shows sustained demand across HHSC facility food service, TDCJ cafeteria procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, approximately 382 line items, due May 4, 2026), and school nutrition (Austin ISD's dried fruit bars and crisps, RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Georgia accounts for multiple institutional food service procurements including Hancock County Schools fresh produce (over 200 line items, IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) and Gwinnett County Community Services food items. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted repeated canned applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and ITB S-29100-00016975 in May 2026), both citing historical awards to regional vendors and applying 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and Oregon-resident preferences.

Connecticut's City of Bridgeport Board of Education purchased commodities including fruit and vegetable products via IFB BNB053266 (115 line items, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable).
