UNSPSC 50392505: Organic black republic cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50392505 Organic black republic cherry purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable fruit products and specialty food items for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse and does not reflect the narrow product scope the code name suggests. The source shows no recent opportunities explicitly soliciting organic black republic cherry purees. Instead, state and local buyers are acquiring a broader range of canned and processed fruit products—applesauce, fruit bars, and mixed fresh and frozen produce—alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables through single large-scale food service contracts. Issuing bodies include school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), state departments and agencies (Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport). The sourcing pattern reflects institutional food service demand in correctional facilities, veterans' homes, schools, and state-supported living centers rather than procurement of a single fruit product line.

Geographic activity spans the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), Midwest (Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Mid-Atlantic regions, with the most recent volume concentrated in Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products and HHSC supplemental food and consumables), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home weekly food orders), and Oregon (ODOC applesauce). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ with a May 4, 2026 response deadline and an estimated annual spend in the low millions; HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 deadline and historical annual value of approximately $1.5 million; and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a October 19, 2026 due date. State and local buyers consistently evaluate on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, best value, or unit-price basis; most require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and compliance with Buy American provisions where school nutrition funding is involved. The code shows little targeted activity for organic or specialty fruit purees specifically and may not be the primary taxonomy state and local buyers are using for this procurement category.
