UNSPSC 50312510: Organic king cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic king cherries

UNSPSC 50312510 Organic king cherries, Commodity tier, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes specialty fresh fruit, but the recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning school districts and state agencies across Georgia, Florida, and Texas from February through July 2026—solicit bananas, fresh produce assortments, fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, and eggs. None of the posted solicitations name organic king cherries or any cherry variety as part of their scope. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (July 29, 2026 response date) requests petite bananas at $78,000 estimated annual value; RFB 4163 by the same district solicits fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus for the 2026-27 school year (June 26, 2026 response date). Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) posted RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with an estimated $600,000 annual budget (March 11, 2026 response date).

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County (all Georgia), McAllen and Austin (Texas), Hillsborough (Florida), and Early County (Georgia)—alongside one state agency (Georgia Department of Education). Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. The procurement mix emphasizes bulk fresh produce delivery to school nutrition programs under annual fixed-price or cost-plus contracts, with compliance requirements including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, food safety certifications, and traceability documentation. No recent opportunity in the block solicits organic king cherries specifically, indicating either misclassification of opportunities under this code or minimal market activity for the Commodity. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether the recent activity reflects persistent mislabeling in state and local procurement systems or signals a shift toward broader fresh-produce categories away from specialty cherry procurement.
