UNSPSC 50382932: Green cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50382932 Green cherry purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh-fruit purees and processed fruit products state and local governments procure for school nutrition, corrections, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local buyers are acquiring shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce including cherries, berries, and other fruits—rather than cherry purees specifically. School districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and county senior services departments are the primary issuing bodies. The scope reflects institutional bulk purchasing for cafeteria and nutrition programs, with products delivered to centralized warehouses or distribution centers and often subject to USDA commodity specifications, Buy American requirements, and brand-or-equal substitution clauses.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentrations in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026), each for roughly 1,900 to 4,760 cases with responses due June 2 and July 31 respectively; historical pricing ran approximately $21.83 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited an RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products, with a response deadline of October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (proposals due August 24, 2026). Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps with a July 16, 2026 response date. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026) and a supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, bid response deadline March 19, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought bids for 115 line items of food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026.
