UNSPSC 50302519: Santina cherries

The variety of cherries known as santina cherries

UNSPSC 50302519 Santina cherries (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations posted in the dataset are for fresh produce procurement by school districts, senior services providers, and correctional facilities—including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, eggs, and dried fruits and nuts—but Santina cherries do not appear as a line item in any of the 33 recent opportunities. The City of Edinburg, Texas (RFP 2026-017, CACFP Meal Program, due August 4, 2026) solicits beverages, paper goods, proteins, cheeses, breads, fruits, vegetables, and snacks; Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) requests petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin; and the City of Bridgeport (BID BNB052266, Grocery Items, due June 30, 2026) covers over 1,100 food line items with no cherry specifications named. The dataset shows widespread state and local procurement of fresh produce, but it reflects generic commodity sourcing rather than varietal or brand-specific specialty procurement.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Hillsborough County, Austin Independent, McAllen Independent, and others), county boards of education (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, and others), municipal school systems (Meriden Public, City of Bridgeport), special-purpose districts (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Central Point School District in Oregon), and one correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). A cooperative procurement vehicle—GEC Buying Cooperative, a consortium of 40 Georgia school nutrition directors—solicited produce and eggs for 30 districts across two geographic areas (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Oregon, and California. No commodity code is appropriate for Santina cherries specifically when the actual purchasing data shows undifferentiated fresh produce procurement at volume for institutional meal service. To assess true pursuit viability, align sourcing capability to school nutrition program requirements for commodity-grade produce rather than specialty varietal positioning.
