UNSPSC 50562427: Non GMO van cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562427 Non GMO van cherry purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code designation references a highly specific product category — non-GMO van cherry purees — yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food and consumable products for institutional food service. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple invitations for canned applesauce (ITB S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026), both seeking approximately 1,900–4,760 cases of USDA-compliant canned fruit under firm fixed pricing delivered FOB Destination to Salem; the historical award price was $21.84 per case. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP 27RFP004 with proposals due July 16, 2026, delivered to the district's central warehouse. Beyond these fruit-specific items, the tagged opportunities include expansive food-service procurements — the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 (and later version HHS0016792V2) for 210+ line items of supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with an estimated $4.5 million three-year value; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office quarterly food orders for fourth-quarter fiscal 2027; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T26300CF for 382+ line items of cafeteria food products across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations. The code's tagging appears imprecise, conflating a specialty cherry product category with general institutional food-service contracting.

State and local issuing bodies using this code span school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities across Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. School districts dominate the activity: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) have all posted fresh produce, grocery, and food-supply procurements during the February–July 2026 window. State purchasing agencies including Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Illinois Chief Procurement Office round out the issuing-body mix. Geographic concentration runs heavily toward the Southeast and South (Georgia, Texas, Missouri) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Connecticut and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, and vegetables with deliveries to three school locations and Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined and line-item award authority; and Bridgeport, Connecticut's commodity procurement (IFB BNB053266, posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE applicability and Buy American mandates. The code shows recent activity but lacks coherence with its nominal product definition, suggesting either mis-tagging by procurement offices or a broader commodity classification that has drifted from its UNSPSC intent.
