UNSPSC 50382903: Bigarreu cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382903 Bigarreu cherry purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty fruit products for institutional food service and nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity under this specific code; the posted solicitations span broader food-service categories including fresh produce, canned fruit applesauce, and mixed food commodities rather than bigarreu cherry purees specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under related fruit and produce codes include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). These entities typically issue RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs for shelf-stable and fresh fruit products as components of larger institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items for specialty varieties like bigarreu cherry purees.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Oregon, where state corrections departments, HHS agencies, and school districts maintain routine procurement cycles for food and consumables. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a major supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, bid response deadline March 19, 2026) with a three-year contract value potential of $4,500,000. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for school year 2026–27 (due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education nutrition-center commodities bid (due June 26, 2026) show continued demand from school nutrition programs. However, none of these solicitations explicitly name bigarreu cherry purees as a line item, suggesting the code carries limited recent activity in state and local procurement or is underutilized by purchasing offices when issuing food-service RFPs.
