UNSPSC 50312528: Organic van cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic van cherries

UNSPSC 50312528 Organic van cherries, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh organic cherry procurement by state and local food-service operations, school districts, and institutional vendors. State and local buyers under this code source organic cherries for school nutrition programs, regional park concessions, healthcare facility food services, and county-managed recreational venues. The work entails specification of cherry variety, ripeness stage, case packing, delivery scheduling, temperature management, quality inspection, and compliance with food-safety regulations and HACCP protocols. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's petite-banana and fresh-fruit RFBs (due July 29, 2026), which establish the specification and delivery rigor typical of school-district produce procurement; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple fruit and vegetable line items (bids due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026, with geographic and seasonal variety heavily weighted in evaluation); Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid covering 300+ items including fresh produce (due June 8, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park and concession facilities (due March 6, 2025). Marion Health Care Coalition issued a produce RFP with proposals due August 21, 2026. School districts dominate the active buyer base, often emphasizing domestic sourcing, local-farm sourcing within specified radii, organic options with price preferences, HACCP documentation, delivery-window compliance, and affirmative-action or diverse-business certifications.
