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

UNSPSC 50392516 Organic duke cherry purees is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable and fresh fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations—school districts, state departments, county nutrition programs, and correctional and health facilities. Recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local governments are buying a broad range of preserved and fresh fruit items, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce spanning apples, berries, melons and citrus, and supplemental food and consumable products for institutional cafeteria and food-service operations. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, independent school districts, city education departments, and county social services offices. The work solicited is typically blanket or standing orders for shelf-stable inventory replenishment, recurring weekly or quarterly food service procurement, and annual school-year fresh produce contracts, with delivery to central distribution centers or on-site cafeteria locations and awards commonly made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value grounds.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (response due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a 5% Oregon-preference incentive (bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for state-supported living centers with a $1.5 million prior-period monetary value (bids due July 13, 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 RFP for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (proposals due August 24, 2026), Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026). Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear in multiple school and state facility solicitations, and Oregon's state procurement applies combined state-preference incentives to encourage local sourcing.
