UNSPSC 50382924: Sweetheart cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382924 Sweetheart cherry purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show limited direct sweetheart cherry puree activity. Instead, the recent solicitation data reflects a broader pattern of state and local procurement for shelf-stable and fresh produce, canned fruits, dried fruit products, and food service commodities across corrections, education, senior services, and health and human services facilities. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state education procurement offices (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The geographic spread spans the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the South (Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Mississippi), and Northeast (Connecticut), with Texas and Illinois appearing as repeat buyers of food service commodities for state-operated facilities.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for senior services (due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 RFP for weekly food orders serving the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to Central Distribution Center in Salem (due July 31, 2026) with a five percent Oregon goods preference and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period. The code shows activity primarily in institutional food procurement cycles rather than retail or commercial distribution.
