UNSPSC 50392504: Organic bing cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50392504 Organic bing cherry purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities data shows no direct solicitations for organic bing cherry purees specifically. Instead, state and local governments are buying a broader mix of shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce including berries and specialty fruits, and general food commodities for institutional food service. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). State and local procurement under this broader fruit-and-vegetable category emphasizes USDA compliance, domestic-content preferences where applicable, firm fixed pricing, and institutional delivery logistics—all standard requirements for food service to schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, and social service agencies.

The geographic spread includes Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Connecticut, and Arizona, with the most recent activity concentrated in June and August 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including berries and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a companion IFB for supplemental food and consumables including fresh and frozen fruits (bid response due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years). Prospective vendors should note that school-district and state-agency food procurements typically require Buy American certification, HACCP or equivalent food-safety plans, E-Verify authorization, firm pricing for the contract term, and FOB destination delivery with advance appointment protocols. The code itself shows limited direct organic-specific activity in the recent opportunities block, signaling that organic certification or organic-only positioning may narrow addressable demand compared to conventional produce or fruit products competing under the same institutional solicitations.
