UNSPSC 50382930: Ranier cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382930 Ranier cherry purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment—recent opportunities are tagged to the code but predominantly solicit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad food-commodity portfolios rather than ranier cherry purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies posting under or near this code include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, county school systems, and independent school districts. The mix spans correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services institutions (Texas HHSC for state-supported living centers), and K–12 nutrition programs across multiple states. Scope of work includes canned fruit products in 40,000-pound truck loads, dried fruit snacks, fresh produce with applesauce as a category staple, and multi-category food-service portfolios where processed fruit appears alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with 5 percent Oregon-goods and 5 percent Oregon-vendor preferences, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products across multiple NIGP categories for state-supported living centers.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with standout volume in Georgia (multiple school districts posting fresh-produce and food-supply RFPs and ITBs through February–June 2026), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD), and Oregon (ODOC). The code sees sparse direct activity under ranier cherry purees alone; the tagged opportunities reflect broader fruit and processed-food categories. School nutrition programs dominate the recent issuing-body base, followed by state corrections and state health facilities. Pricing in recent applesauce and commodity-food procurements ranges from historical lows of $21.84 per case (Oregon ODOC, June 2026 award to Robbins Sales) to multi-million-dollar annual frameworks (Texas HHSC estimated $1.5–$4.5 million annual spend depending on contract scope). Buy American provisions apply across most school-district solicitations, with 51 percent domestic-content requirements for processed products. Most school districts specify firm fixed pricing for the contract year with midterm adjustments permitted only for documented manufacturer price increases exceeding 4–5 percent. Delivery is FOB destination with freight prepaid, weekly or on-demand scheduling, and compliance with USDA commodity, FDA, and health-department standards standard across all recent opportunities. Insurance requirements typically include $1–$2 million commercial general liability. The code shows activity but limited specificity to ranier cherry purees; prospecting firms should monitor broader canned-fruit and processed-food categories and school-district nutrition procurement channels, particularly in Georgia, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest.
