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, describes shelf-stable packaged fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts, though the recent opportunities in the dataset show little direct solicitation for this specific item. The code sits within a wider family of canned and processed fruit procurement driven by school districts, corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs. The work being solicited under related food-commodity codes spans hundreds of line items of shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and prepared foods delivered to cafeterias, correctional facilities, senior-services programs, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county boards of education, and county health departments, with repeat activity from the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois for state veteran and health facilities, Texas HHSC, and Georgia and Texas county nutrition programs. Contracts are typically awarded on lowest-responsive-and-responsible or best-value criteria with firm fixed pricing over 12-month periods and optional renewals.

Activity under the broader food-commodity space is geographically dispersed across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states, with no single jurisdiction dominating. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' May and July 2026 ITBs for approximately 1,904 to 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (at historical pricing around $21.83 per case), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse zones, the Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables. The source provides no recent opportunities soliciting stella cherries specifically; solicitations under this code tier would likely appear as line items within larger multi-product food-service RFQs or IBCs rather than as standalone procurements.
