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 is a Commodity code representing a single specialized food product line. State and local governments purchase this item almost exclusively through institutional food service procurements — school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and senior services programs sourcing shelf-stable produce for congregate meal programs and institutional kitchens. Recent opportunities show this code is tagged alongside broad food-supply solicitations, but the actual procurement activity under the code tier focuses narrowly on canned applesauce, dried fruit products, and general commodity food items for detention facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state agencies (departments of corrections, health and human services commissions), county boards of education, independent school districts, and specialized state facilities (veterans homes, supported living centers). State governments and school districts dominate the buyer base, with repeat procurement from the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas HHSC (statewide food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and school districts in Georgia and Connecticut.

Geographic concentration is highest in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with recent activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and Oregon state preferences available; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical monetary value of $1.5 million; the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. Institutional food service procurement is steady but fragmented across multiple states and issuing bodies; response windows are typically two to four weeks.
