UNSPSC 50372528: Canned or jarred organic van cherries

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

UNSPSC 50372528 Canned or jarred organic van cherries, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities show substantial purchases of canned and jarred fruit products — applesauce, pears, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce — by correctional departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, but none of the identified solicitations explicitly reference canned or jarred organic van cherries or cherries of any kind.

State and local governments procuring under this general product family are primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions buying bulk-packed fruit in multiple formats: canned applesauce in cases of 40,000 pounds delivered to central distribution centers; dried fruit bars and apple crisps; fresh produce by the truckload; and mixed food service commodities. Issuing bodies include state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD), and county school systems (Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior period historical value $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut, with secondary procurement visible across Illinois and multiple other states. The code shows active procurement volume but little evidence of organic van cherry–specific demand; sourcing opportunities under this taxonomy should focus on the broader canned fruit and fruit product categories actually being solicited rather than the specific cherry variety the code nominally describes.
