UNSPSC 50382923: Stella cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382923 Stella cherry purees, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly involve broad food supply categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, eggs, and multi-category commodity foods for institutional food service—rather than the specific cherry-puree product the code nominally describes. A mismatch between the code and the actual solicitations suggests the taxonomy application is inconsistent or the code is used as a catch-all within larger food procurement initiatives.

The issuing bodies spanning recent opportunities are school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia state institutions), and city nutrition services (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center). Geographic spread covers Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving state hospitals and supported living centers (historical maximum value $4.5 million over three years). These are demand-driven institutional food contracts issued repeatedly by the same agencies, typically structured as annual or multi-year term agreements with firm pricing and FOB destination delivery. However, none of the posted opportunities explicitly call for cherry purees, indicating the code designation does not reflect current procurement practice under this UNSPSC number.
