UNSPSC 50372523: Canned or jarred organic stella cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372523 Canned or jarred organic stella cherries, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic stella cherries or any specialty cherry product; instead, bidders see requests for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, supplemental food and consumable products for institutional facilities, school nutrition programs, and broad-based grocery and food service supply contracts. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the jurisdiction's systems or the code's application to a broader canned-fruit category than its name specifies.

Across the recent record, state and local issuing bodies—including state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District), and a special-purpose cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts)—are actively sourcing canned fruit products, dried fruit, and fresh produce through ITB, IFB, and RFP procurements. The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state institutional facilities (correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers) representing the primary demand. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items (bids due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for state facilities ($1.5 million estimated historical value, proposals due July 13, 2026). Bidders pursuing opportunities under this code should verify their product meets the actual category being solicited rather than assume cherry-specific demand.
