UNSPSC 50562426: Non GMO maraschino cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562426 Non GMO maraschino cherry purees, a Commodity code, describes specialty fruit products state and local governments procure for food service — though the recent opportunity record shows no direct solicitations for maraschino cherry puree itself. Instead, the code appears to sit within a broader category of canned, jarred, and preserved fruit items that state and local food-service buyers are actively sourcing: school districts, state departments of corrections, county social-service agencies, municipal nutrition centers, and state health and human services commissions all issue RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs for shelf-stable fruit products, processed fruits, and ingredient-stage items for cafeteria, institutional feeding, and senior nutrition programs. When these agencies specify fruit purees, fruit bars, applesauce, or canned fruit under companion codes, they typically name brands or allow brand-or-equal substitutions, require USDA compliance and FDA standards, specify shelf-life minima (commonly one year), and demand FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight to central distribution points or individual facility locations.

Activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut in the recent record. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including sauces and canned proteins in October 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026, each for roughly 1,900–4,760 cases at historical pricing near $21.83 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide IFB in May 2026 for 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and processed food products with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP in June 2026 for delivery to the district's central warehouse. Pricing is typically firm fixed for the contract term, with adjustments tied to CPI or approved manufacturer price lists and allowed only at renewal; delivery timelines range from 45–60 days on initial orders. No maraschino cherry puree solicitations appear in the recent record, suggesting the code may see limited direct activity or may be tagged inaccurately on broader fruit-product procurements.
