UNSPSC 50562406: Non GMO black schmidt cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562406 Non GMO black schmidt cherry purees is a Commodity code covering specialty fruit preserves and purees supplied to state and local institutions for food service operations. The code appears in recent solicitations primarily as part of broader food procurement efforts targeting school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and county social services departments. While the UNSPSC description names black schmidt cherry purees specifically, state and local buyers soliciting under this code acquire a wider range of shelf-stable fruit products including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and other processed fruit items as components of larger food service contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health and human services, independent school districts, and county social services agencies. The procurement typically runs through formal IFB, RFP, or informal written quote processes, with awards made on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best-value criteria.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a 5 percent Oregon goods preference applied.

Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Buy American and domestic content requirements appear routinely; Oregon and Texas solicitations apply geographic preferences or allowances for state-fabricated products where applicable.
