Variety of cherries known as green cherries

UNSPSC 50302533 Green cherries, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government purchasing of fresh produce — primarily fruits and vegetables — for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and child care. Recent solicitations show substantial demand for fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery, with specifications emphasizing product quality, freshness guarantees, compliance with food safety standards, and reliable logistics to multiple facility locations.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouse procurement events), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Early County, and Bartow County school systems), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Collier County Parks and Recreation, the City of San Antonio Senior Services Division, and Marion Health Care Coalition. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with school districts and state corrections or mental health agencies as repeat buyers. Recent procurements include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, Texas with proposals due October 19, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin, due July 29, 2026 with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for petite bananas alone; DeSoto County School District sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites with bids due June 22, 2026 on a bi-annual fixed-fee plus reimbursable-cost basis; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026. School nutrition programs and correctional facilities dominate volume; Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing preferences appear in most school district and state agency solicitations, with local-vendor preferences in some jurisdictions (Collier County, Madison Metro, Bartow County) and minimum domestic agricultural content requirements in others. Pricing is typically firm-fixed with no fuel surcharges, F.O.B. Destination delivery required, and payment within 30–45 days of receipt and inspection.
