UNSPSC 50382922: Lambert cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382922 Lambert cherry purees is a Commodity code that captures fruit purée products sourced by state and local governments for institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal activity aligned to the nominal scope. State and local buyers posting under related fruit and produce categories are predominantly school districts, state health and human services agencies, and departments of corrections procuring a broad range of canned and fresh fruit products rather than specialty purées. Issuing bodies include Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, and City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The code shows no recent opportunities explicitly soliciting lambert cherry purées; instead, the tagged opportunities document purchases of canned applesauce, canned fruits, fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables), dried fruit bars, and other commodity proteins and staples that form the core of school nutrition and corrections food service spending.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South—Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the recent records—with secondary activity in Oregon and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior contract value $1.5 million annually, proposals due July 13, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services serving 32 schools with approximately $9 million annual estimated expenditure (proposals due February 18, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items, bids due June 26, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (minimum 76 items, bids due April 27, 2026) illustrate the scale and product diversity of school nutrition procurement. The code sees no distinct set-asides or preferences beyond Buy American provisions and standard state HUB or MBE/WBE eligibility; activity is driven by volume food service demand rather than specialty product sourcing.
