UNSPSC 50562431: Non GMO royal cherry purees

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

UNSPSC 50562431 Non GMO royal cherry purees is a Commodity code representing fresh and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state health facilities. The code's recent activity shows a broader pattern of institutional fruit purchasing that extends beyond royal cherry purees specifically — state and local buyers are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including various berry and fruit varieties, and mixed commodity food products that frequently include fruit components. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). The issuing-body mix reflects routine institutional food procurement across multiple state and local service sectors, with school districts and corrections departments appearing frequently across the recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with multiple opportunities from Georgia, Texas, and Illinois between May and October 2026, and activity from Oregon, Connecticut, and Georgia over the same period. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including fruit components (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truckloads (bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service (proposals due July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned fruits to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years (bid response deadline March 19, 2026). Commodity codes in this tier see highly variable response rates and contract values depending on facility size, service model, and procurement method — from small county informal quotes under $100,000 to statewide multi-facility contracts approaching or exceeding $4,500,000 across renewal periods.
