UNSPSC 50562400: Non GMO cherry purees

The type of non GMO cherries known as non GMO cherries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562400 Non GMO cherry purees, a Class code, sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement — the source shows no opportunities actually soliciting cherry purees or products matching the code's nominal scope. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under or near this code address canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food and consumable products for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, and other institutional food service. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being procured suggests this code is either inactive, rarely used by state and local buyers, or systematically mistagged in the opportunities database.

State and local jurisdictions are instead soliciting food products under adjacent UNSPSC codes covering fresh produce, canned fruits, and general food supply. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia Department of Education), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, multiple county boards of education), and special districts (Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative). The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with school nutrition procurement dominating the volume. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state facilities ($4.5 million potential value, multiple addenda), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, sealed bids due April 27, 2026). Buyers in this space emphasize Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple institutional locations. Given the code's lack of relevant recent activity, pursuing opportunities in this space likely requires monitoring adjacent codes for canned and fresh fruit products rather than relying on this code to surface demand.
