UNSPSC 50562428: Non GMO morello cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562428 Non GMO morello cherry purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy shelf-stable and specialty fruit products under this code for food service operations serving institutional populations—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show demand for both bulk canned and processed fruit items (applesauce, fruit bars, and fresh produce) alongside supplemental food procurement contracts that bundle multiple commodity lines. The typical buyer issues informal quotes (IQQ), invitations for bids (IFB), and requests for proposals (RFP) for annual or quarterly food-service supply contracts, often with brand-or-equal options and firm fixed pricing through the contract term. Issuers span state corrections and health departments, county boards of education and social services, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education across multiple states, indicating a distributed procurement landscape with no dominant single buyer but consistent institutional demand.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's June 2026 informal quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a response deadline of July 31, 2026; Texas HHSC's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a prior maximum value of $4.5 million over three years; and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apple varieties, berries, and specialty items for the 2026–27 school year. Buy American requirements and domestic-content minimums appear frequently, along with USDA commodity-specification compliance, HACCP plans, and delivery to centralized distribution centers or school nutrition facilities.
