UNSPSC 50562404: Non GMO bing cherry purees

The variety of non GMO cherries known as non GMO bing cherries which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50562404 Non GMO bing cherry purees, a Commodity code, names a specific product type but does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span broad food service procurement—shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, canned and frozen items for schools, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, and senior services—rather than bing cherry purees specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, state health and human services commissions, municipal school districts, and county senior services departments. The mix reflects institutional food service operations across custody, care, and education settings. Most recent solicitations are IFBs and RFPs for multi-item commodity lots rather than single-product awards, with delivery to central warehouses or distributed facility networks and contract terms typically running one to three years with renewal options.

Geographic activity centers on the South and Upper Midwest—Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple solicitations in the second and third quarters of 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million annually; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, and 1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences applied). Buy American provisions, state preference programs, and prevailing wage requirements appear across multiple recent solicitations, particularly in school nutrition and state-operated facility procurement.
