UNSPSC 50382926: Maraschino cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382926 Maraschino cherry purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh proteins, dairy products, condiments, baking supplies, and cafeteria staples across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and county social services — none of which involve maraschino cherry purees or closely related products. The code itself nominally describes a narrow food ingredient, yet the solicitations indexed to it reflect broad food-service procurement across multiple institutional categories with no convergence on the specific commodity named.

Activity is concentrated among school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state-level corrections and health agencies (Texas TDCJ, Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Homes, Georgia state procurement), and county social services (Gwinnett County, Georgia). Geographic representation spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and related state networks. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers (March 19, 2026 response deadline, up to $4.5 million over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. The code shows no relevant market signal for the specific commodity it nominally represents.
