UNSPSC 50382908: Fiesta bing cherry purees

The variety of cherries known as fiesta bing cherries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382908 Fiesta bing cherry purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are not aligned with the nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport, and multiple Georgia school districts have solicited canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, fresh produce and eggs, canned fruits, food and consumable products, and comprehensive food supply services—none of which constitute fiesta bing cherry purees or the specialized fruit purée category the code nominally describes. The mismatch reflects how state and local procurement offices apply UNSPSC codes inconsistently, sometimes tagging broader food and nutrition procurements with commodity codes that do not match their actual scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code spans multiple states and regions: Oregon (Department of Corrections, two applesauce ITBs in February and July 2026), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, multiple IFBs; Dallas Independent School District and TDCJ food procurements), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Muscogee County Schools), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood School District). Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Douglas County Schools RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (estimated $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products for Child Nutrition Services (due April 2, 2026). The code sees active solicitation across school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and public institutional food service, but does not reflect the specialized purée commodity its name implies.
