UNSPSC 50312505: Organic black republic cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic black republic cherries

UNSPSC 50312505 Organic black republic cherries (Commodity) sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with no posted opportunities specifically for organic black republic cherries identified in recent school district, county, or municipal solicitations. The code's nominal scope — a single specialty fruit item — contrasts sharply with the actual procurement activity in fresh produce across state and local food service, which centers on broad produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, and prepared items) supplied through annual school nutrition contracts rather than individual commodity line items.

State and local food service procurement in the fresh produce space is dominated by school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, soliciting through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB structures for comprehensive fresh produce portfolios spanning 60 to 200+ line items annually. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026; RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with 200+ line items, due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System in Georgia (RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026); Bulloch County School District in Georgia (IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026); and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce line items serving 30 districts across two geographic areas, estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area, due March 4, 2026). Organic certification and sourcing preferences appear in some solicitations but are not universal; geographic preference for local or domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, and HACCP certification are standard requirements. The code does not reflect the actual composition of state and local food service procurement activity.
