UNSPSC 50312517: Organic early rivers cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic early rivers cherries

UNSPSC 50312517 Organic early rivers cherries is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition programs and child food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity; the posted opportunities do not solicit cherries specifically but instead reflect broader school food service procurement for fresh produce categories that may include cherries as line items within larger fruit assortments. The code's nominal scope — organic early rivers cherries — does not align with what is actually being procured in posted state and local opportunities, which are comprehensive produce contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories. School districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the issuing body mix; repeat buyers include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), supplemented by city and independent school districts in Texas and Florida.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (posted July 8, 2026; due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas under a school nutrition contract valued at approximately $78,000 annually; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (posted June 10, 2026; due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026; due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Pricing in school nutrition produce contracts typically remains firm for the contract year with prospective redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Department of Labor Consumer Price Index data; Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content are standard, as are HACCP plans, recall procedures, insurance requirements of $500,000 to $2 million general liability, and compliance with federal school nutrition program standards.
