UNSPSC 50382923: Stella cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382923 Stella cherry purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no opportunities specifically requesting stella cherry purees or closely related cherry puree products. Instead, the most recent opportunities tagged to this code request a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and general cafeteria commodities. State and local issuing bodies using this code span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city school districts, and county purchasing offices. The mix reflects institutional food service procurement across correctional facilities, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with the most recent solicitations in those states posted between May and October 2026.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026-27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing an IFB on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has also posted multiple IFBs for supplemental and general food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with estimated contract values reaching $4.5 million over three-year periods. None of these solicitations specifically targets stella cherry purees, indicating the code may be a taxonomy misalignment rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers at present.
