UNSPSC 50382902: Brooks cherry purees

The variety of cherries known as brooks cherries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382902 Brooks cherry purees, a Commodity code, describes a narrow product line that state and local governments rarely solicit in isolation; the recent procurement activity under this code shows almost no direct demand for Brooks cherry purees or branded cherry purees by name, and instead reflects broader food-service purchasing across categories where cherry purees might sit as one item among hundreds of shelf-stable and fresh products. The solicitations tagged with this code span school districts, county departments of community services, state corrections and health agencies, and municipal nutrition centers—issuing bodies that procure food for inmate feeding programs, senior services, school lunch operations, and state-supported living centers. The work being solicited is almost entirely bundled: large food-service RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs that enumerate dozens or hundreds of line items (proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, frozen entrees, specialty items) where single-category items like cherry purees, if present at all, appear as one specification among many. The dominant pattern is multi-category food procurement under brand-or-equal specifications, with pricing quoted per unit and delivery requirements keyed to central warehouses or multiple facility locations.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Gwinnett County (Georgia), Hancock County (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Illinois, the State of Oregon, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple recent ITBs for canned applesauce (not cherry purees) in May and July 2026, suggesting repeat-buy discipline around commodity fruit products; Gwinnett County posted an IFB in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items delivered within 72 hours; and Texas HHSC issued a large IFB in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. No recent solicitation explicitly names Brooks cherry purees or equivalent branded cherry purees as a line item, and the code shows little targeted procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.
