UNSPSC 50302530: Royal ann cherries

The variety of cherries known as royal ann cherries

UNSPSC 50302530 Royal ann cherries is a Commodity code that sees limited direct procurement activity among state and local governments. Recent solicitations tagged with this code reveal a mismatch between the nominal commodity — a specific cherry variety — and actual purchasing patterns. The City of Edinburg, Texas; Madison Metropolitan School District; and Bridgeport Board of Education are procuring food items for child nutrition and school meal programs, but their scopes span broad categories of proteins, produce, beverages, paper goods, and janitorial supplies rather than targeting royal ann cherries as a line item. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (posted July 8, 2026) solicited petite bananas, and RFB 4163 solicited fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a Wisconsin local-sourcing requirement and organic-produce preference discount. The City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 (posted July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026) covers comprehensive CACFP meal program supplies serving 400 children daily, with evaluation weighted toward cost (30%), qualifications (25%), technical approach (25%), and menu quality (20%), all subject to local-vendor preference under Texas law. These opportunities frame fresh produce as one component within larger institutional food-service contracts rather than as a standalone cherry procurement.

State and local procurement under this code is concentrated among school districts, municipal child-care authorities, and county education agencies across Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and other states. Activity spans elementary through secondary school nutrition programs, Head Start operations, senior center produce distribution, and detention facility food service. Representative recent opportunities include Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.'s IFB 26-GP (posted June 24, 2026, due June 24, 2026) for $969,460.94 in grocery products covering frozen foods, produce, and meat with a pre-bid conference April 16, 2026, and DeSoto County School District's bid (due June 22, 2026) for fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites on a cost-plus-fee basis with 97% delivery service level requirements. The GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) aggregates purchasing across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million for fresh produce and eggs, requiring cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing based on documented supplier costs. Geographic spread concentrates in Georgia (Bulloch, Bryan, DeSoto, Dougherty, Early, Glynn, Hancock, Henry, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham counties), Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin ISDs), and scattered opportunities in Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California, with most activity driven by federal child nutrition program requirements (CACFP, FFVP, National School Lunch Program) and state education department procurement cycles running July through June fiscal years.
