UNSPSC 50302502: Brooks cherries

The variety of cherries known as brooks cherries

UNSPSC 50302502 Brooks cherries (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity, despite the code's nominal product scope. The most recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for Brooks cherries or any named cherry variety; instead, the block spans fresh-produce procurement across school nutrition, senior services, and detention-facility food programs, with sourcing focused on apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus, leafy greens, onions, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, watermelon, and dried fruits and nuts. The mismatch between the code's narrowly specific product line and the actual buying pattern suggests this commodity sits outside the current state and local purchasing mainstream, or the code assignment in procurement systems does not align with actual cherry procurement practices.

School districts, county boards of education, independent school districts, and institutional food-service agencies (including senior centers and correctional facilities) dominate the recent activity in the broader fresh-produce space. Issuers include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), multiple Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Central Point School District (Oregon), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County School District (Mississippi), and the County of Santa Clara (California) for detention-facility food services. A pre-bid or kickoff meeting and RFP or IFB notice type appear standard. Geographic concentration in recent opportunities spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, California, Mississippi, and Oregon, with Georgia school districts representing the largest cluster of recent activity. If your firm pursues state and local cherry supply, monitoring UNSPSC codes for broader fresh-fruit or produce categories and direct outreach to school nutrition procurement offices in high-activity districts will likely yield more reliable pipelines than the 50302502 commodity code alone.
