UNSPSC 50392500: Organic cherry purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic cherries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50392500 Organic cherry purees is a Class code covering shelf-stable processed fruit products, particularly canned and shelf-stable fruit purees, applesauce, and value-added fruit preparations supplied to state and local institutions including correctional facilities, health and human services centers, school districts, and senior services departments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing these items as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone organic cherry puree specifications; the code's scope encompasses the full range of canned and processed fruit items acquired for institutional meal programs, including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and commodity-grade fruit products meeting USDA and FDA standards with specified shelf life and packaging requirements.

Activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies across at least five states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026), requesting approximately 4,760 and 1,904 cases respectively on an ITB basis with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-bidder preference. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple postings June through August 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a large IFB (HHS0017449) in June 2026 for food and consumable products with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually, and a separate supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2) with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million. School districts, including Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, July 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB, June 2026), also source these categories. Bridgeport Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners procurement offices similarly solicit food items for nutrition programs. Geographic concentration is evident in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with Georgia and Texas showing the most recent and highest-dollar activity. Most solicitations are issued as ITBs or IFBs with response windows of 10 to 30 days, firm fixed pricing requirements, FOB Destination delivery terms, and Buy American provisions for school nutrition programs.
