UNSPSC 50392501: Organic amarelle cherry purees

The variety of organic cherries known as organic amarelle cherries which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50392501 Organic amarelle cherry purees (Commodity) covers specialty preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent opportunities tagged with this code show limited direct activity. The most recent solicitations under this code span school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs across multiple states, but they predominantly solicit broad food-commodity bundles—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and shelf-stable proteins—rather than cherry purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies treat this commodity as part of wider food-supply contracts for cafeteria operations, prisoner meal programs, senior services, and institutional facilities; the code itself is granular, but procurement practice bundles it with dozens of other food lines in multi-line IFBs and RFPs where unit pricing, delivery logistics, USDA grade compliance, and Buy American requirements dominate the terms.

Recent opportunities reflect activity from Oregon Department of Corrections (two separate canned-applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas), Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh-produce IFB), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (shelf-stable food items for senior services), City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (commodities for school nutrition), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Illinois, with sporadic activity elsewhere. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical award price of $21.84 per case, and Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years) serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—both using firm fixed unit pricing, FOB destination delivery, and USDA commodity-specification compliance as standard terms.
