UNSPSC 50302522: Lambert cherries

The variety of cherries known as lambert cherries

UNSPSC 50302522 Lambert cherries (Commodity) does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under the recent opportunities posted in this dataset. The 20 most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show no procurement activity for Lambert cherries or specialty cherry varieties; instead, school districts, child nutrition agencies, and county purchasing offices are seeking comprehensive fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, groceries, and school meal program supplies across multiple product categories.

The code shows little decision-relevant activity for Lambert cherry vendors. Recent opportunities span school nutrition programs (Bulloch County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Dougherty County, Early County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and McAllen Independent School District in Texas), child care food programs (City of Edinburg and Head Start of Greater Dallas in Texas), cooperative buying consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative across 30 Georgia school districts), specialized institutions (Santa Clara County corrections facility), and city senior services (San Antonio); procurement methods include sealed bids (ITB/IFB), requests for proposals (RFP), and requests for bids (RFB). Representative recent activity includes Bryan County Schools' sealed bid for fresh produce with a May 27, 2026 deadline covering apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, and other items; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 deadline specifying over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP (due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 line items across 30 districts in Georgia with estimated combined annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with activity also in Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. None of the recent solicitations explicitly names lambert cherries, cherry varieties, or specialty stone fruits as part of the specification; buyers are procuring against standardized produce categories and whole-fruit commodity items for institutional meal service. The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests this UNSPSC designation may be incorrectly applied to broader fresh-produce opportunities, or cherry procurement under this specific varietal code is not currently active in the state and local market.
