UNSPSC 50392528: Organic morello cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50392528 Organic morello cherry purees is a Commodity code, but the recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of organic cherry purees specifically. Instead, state and local governments buying under this code are sourcing shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations—including canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for schools, corrections facilities, senior services centers, and state-supported living facilities. The issuing bodies span county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and human services agencies. County and state corrections departments and school nutrition programs appear as repeat buyers, with Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ, Comptroller's Office) particularly active in the recent record.

Recent opportunities are geographically distributed across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with the highest recent volume in Texas and the South. Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case (historical price); Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million and a response deadline of March 19, 2026; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas with a response deadline of May 4, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026–27 with bids due June 26, 2026. All solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, firm fixed pricing, delivery on FOB destination terms, and vendor insurance documentation.
