UNSPSC 50382915: Montmorency cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382915 Montmorency cherry purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual products state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for montmorency cherry purees or comparable specialty fruit purees; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad-based food service categories including canned applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and food supply distribution for schools, correctional facilities, and state institutions. The code designation appears to be a data-entry or tagging error in the procurement system, as the solicitations retrieved under it involve commodity-scale food purchasing for institutional nutrition programs rather than specialty fruit product lines.

State and local government procurement activity in the retrieved records centers on school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a municipal education department (Bridgeport Board of Education), with geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut. School nutrition programs dominate the mix, followed by state institutional food service for correctional and supported-living facilities. These issuing bodies use IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types to procure items ranging from fresh produce and eggs delivered to 30 or more school sites to canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees for multi-warehouse distribution. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide (due March 19, 2026, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services serving 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code itself shows no material recent activity aligned with its stated commodity classification.
