UNSPSC 50382920: Geans guines cherry purees

The variety of cherries known as geans guines cherries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50382920 Geans guines cherry purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school districts and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental food items for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and correctional institutions. The code's actual scope diverges significantly from its nominal title; state and local opportunities under this code are soliciting broad categories of food products and produce rather than the specific cherry puree line item the code name suggests. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with secondary activity from state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and county school systems. Repeat buyers include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts) and Southwest (Texas HHS and school districts), with meaningful secondary activity in Oregon and the Midwest (Missouri school districts). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products with estimated annual spending of roughly $1.5 million (response due June 17, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026). School nutrition procurement frequently enforces Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, and firm pricing over 12-month contract periods. Evaluation prioritizes lowest responsive bid and vendor performance history, with awards commonly made to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
