UNSPSC 50382910: King cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382910 King cherry purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities in the source are not actually procuring king cherry purees. Instead, they reflect broader food-service purchasing across multiple categories: fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, general food commodities, and institutional cafeteria products. State and local governments soliciting under this code or using similar taxonomy codes are purchasing shelf-stable and fresh food items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services centers, state hospitals, and state supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal procurement offices. Recent opportunities reflect straightforward food service supply contracts evaluated on price and vendor performance, with firm fixed pricing, delivery-to-location logistics, and compliance with USDA grade and food-safety standards.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and the broader institutional food-service market. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections posting an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce on July 10, 2026 with a due date of July 31, 2026, offering a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-based suppliers; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps under an RFP due July 16, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical monthly value of approximately $1.5 million over a twelve-month period and a due date of July 13, 2026. The code shows consistent recent activity but lacks procurement specifically for king cherry purees; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should verify whether state and local buyers are actively specifying cherry products or are instead consolidating purchases across broad food commodity families under higher-tier UNSPSC families.
