UNSPSC 50382900: Cherry purees

The type of fruit which is any of numerous trees and shrubs (genus prunus) of the rose family that bear pale yellow to deep red or blackish smooth-skinned drupes enclosing a smooth seed and that include some cultivated for their fruits or ornamental flowers which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382900 Cherry purees, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, carrots, eggs, leafy greens, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes), canned and frozen food products, and large-scale grocery and food service distribution — none of which are cherry purees. The mismatch signals either a tagging error in the source records or a code definition that does not match current purchasing practice in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the tagged opportunities include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education), and city/county-level agencies (City of Bridgeport Connecticut). The geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut, with the highest recent volume in Texas (state health and human services, Department of Criminal Justice, Dallas IFD) and Georgia (multiple school districts). The representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026 with $1.5 million historical annual value), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution (26-003, due February 18, 2026 with approximately $9 million annual expenditure). Because the code name and the actual procurement activity diverge sharply, pursue opportunities only if your firm supplies the categories actually being solicited — canned fruit products, fresh produce, frozen and refrigerated food items, and food service distribution — rather than cherry purees as a specialty item.
