UNSPSC 50382921: Sonata cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382921 Sonata cherry purees is a Commodity code that represents narrow food-product sourcing activity in state and local nutrition programs. The recent solicitations tagged to this code, however, show a mismatch: the code's nominal scope is a specific fruit product (sonata cherry purees), but the posted opportunities span institutional food service procurement across multiple product categories — canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and general commodities for school nutrition, corrections, veterans' facilities, and state-supported living centers. None of the recorded opportunities explicitly name sonata cherry purees. The solicitations reflect broad-based school meal, correctional facility, and state agency food supply contracts that use generic commodity codes rather than ingredient-level precision.

The issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois for veterans' homes, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent procurements include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (RFQ, due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections issuing bids for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (ITB, due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District requesting dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP, due July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB, due March 19, 2026, with contract value up to $4.5 million over three years). The code shows sparse, product-category-misaligned recent activity and does not represent a concentrated procurement stream for sonata cherry purees specifically.
