UNSPSC 50372527: Canned or jarred organic maraschino cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372527 Canned or jarred organic maraschino cherries is a Commodity code that describes specialty preserved fruit products used in school nutrition, institutional food service, and general procurement supply chains, though recent state and local solicitations show limited direct activity targeting this specific item and focus instead on broader shelf-stable produce categories, bulk applesauce, and general food commodities where maraschino cherries may appear as a line item within multi-category procurements. State and local issuing bodies active under the broader UNSPSC family spanning preserved and fresh produce include county school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, city school nutrition centers, and county social services departments. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce ITBs (S2910000017453 and S2910000016975), which explicitly name applesauce compliance with USDA 2011 commodity specifications for cases delivered to central distribution points; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013) spanning over 200 line items of fresh and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school locations; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) encompassing 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and dry products including fruits to serve state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Ohio, with the heaviest recent volume in Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products, HHSC El Paso facility procurement, and statewide supplemental food IFB) and Oregon (two consecutive ODOC applesauce ITBs). Gwinnett County, Georgia (PE77023NONST2027000000782) issued an informal written quote in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with delivery due within 72 hours of order receipt and all items received by December 7, 2026; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (BNB053266) requested bids for 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with a contract term through June 30, 2027 and award to single or multiple vendors; and Austin Independent School District (27RFP004) issued an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with delivery to the district's central warehouse. The code shows sparse direct procurement activity for maraschino cherries specifically; buying activity is largely embedded within multi-item institutional food service and nutrition supply contracts where preserved fruit items appear as subordinate line items rather than primary procurement drivers.
