UNSPSC 50312512: Organic lapin cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic lapin cherries

UNSPSC 50312512 Organic lapin cherries is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific fruit product, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code cover petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and mixed food service supplies—none of which are organic lapin cherries. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or a jurisdiction's use of the code as a catch-all for fresh fruit procurement more broadly. State and local entities are buying fresh produce for school nutrition programs, USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable programs, and farm-to-school initiatives, but not through opportunities explicitly soliciting the cherry variety named in the code.

School districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent activity. The Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education and Glynn County Board of Education posted IFBs for broad fresh produce mixes spanning multiple produce categories (due June 26, 2026, and April 14, 2026, respectively); and Bulloch County School District sought local produce under an IFP (due May 4, 2026). Larger districts including Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and the Douglas County School System (coordinating a cooperative for 30 districts) also solicited fresh produce on annual contracts with estimated values reaching $4.4 million. These procurements weight cost heavily (30–50% of evaluation), emphasize Buy American and domestic sourcing preferences, require HACCP plans and food safety certifications, and typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis, often splitting awards across multiple vendors. The code shows no relevant recent activity and should not be pursued as a fresh produce opportunity.
