UNSPSC 50392517: Organic early rivers cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50392517 Organic early rivers cherry purees (Commodity) does not align with the scope of recent state and local solicitations posted under this code. The recent opportunities instead span general food procurement for institutional food service—canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, mixed food commodities, and meal service supplies for corrections facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, schools, and county services. The code nominally describes a single processed-fruit product (organic cherry purees), but the actual buying activity captured under it reflects broad, multi-line-item food procurement across protein, dairy, grain, fresh produce, and packaged commodity categories. This mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly tagged in the source system or that the code's scope in practice extends far beyond its commodity name.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), and a city procurement office (Bridgeport). Oregon and Texas dominate recent activity, with additional volume from Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (bid due March 19, 2026, with an estimated value of $4.5 million over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned applesauce (two separate bids posted May 18 and July 10, 2026, with historical award price of approximately $21.82 per case); the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouses across five geographic regions (extended due date May 4, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content requirements appear consistently; Oregon applies small business preferences; Texas uses best-value evaluation with incumbent reference pricing; and most contracts carry one- to two-year renewal options.
