UNSPSC 50372525: Canned or jarred organic tartarian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372525 Canned or jarred organic tartarian cherries is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable fruit products—particularly canned applesauce, canned fruit, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—for institutional food service operations including schools, correctional facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, state departments (corrections, health and human services), and municipal nutrition services; activity concentrates among repeat buyers in Texas (Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Georgia (state and county), Illinois (state-operated veterans' homes), and Connecticut (municipal and school boards). Work under the code involves competitive sealed bidding (ITB, IFB, RFQ) on fixed-price, itemized food product lists with firm pricing for contract terms typically running one to two years, brand-or-equal specifications common, and delivery to centralized distribution centers or multiple institutional sites on FOB destination, prepaid freight terms. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in school district solicitations; insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general commercial liability), state compliance certifications, and USDA grade conformance are standard. Payment terms run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or single/multiple vendors offering best value.
