UNSPSC 50562405: Non GMO black republic cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562405 Non GMO black republic cherry purees is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable fruit preserves and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations under this code show a pattern of purchasing shelf-stable fruit products alongside broader commodity food buys — applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce for cafeteria and meal programs — rather than cherry purees specifically. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, county senior services, independent school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers seeking canned fruit and processed food products on quarterly or annual cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings from June through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, IFB HHS0016792V2, bid response deadline March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ for food items including shelf-stable products (1,062 cases, 35 line items, due October 19, 2026), and Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). Many procurements apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content in processed products and enforce prevailing wage and insurance requirements. The code shows active procurement but limited recent evidence of cherry-puree-specific demand in posted solicitations.
