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 (Class) does not appear in the recent state and local contract opportunities provided. The source records solicitations for canned applesauce, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and other food commodities across school districts, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs, but no posted opportunities specifically name cherry purees or cherry-based fruit products. The code's abstract scope—pureed cherry products for institutional food service—diverges markedly from the concrete buying activity in the dataset, which centers on whole fruits, canned fruit, dried fruit, and mixed commodity bundles rather than cherry purees in particular.

State and local governments are actively procuring institutional food products through school nutrition departments, state health and human services facilities, county social services, and corrections systems, but cherry purees do not surface as a priority item in recent solicitations. Buyers under related commodity codes are issuing ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut for fresh produce, canned fruit, and mixed food service supplies, yet the opportunities consistently name applesauce, mixed fruits, and broader food categories rather than purees. Without recent cherry-puree-specific opportunities to demonstrate actual buying patterns, this code does not warrant pursuit at present.
