UNSPSC 50312528: Organic van cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic van cherries

UNSPSC 50312528 Organic van cherries, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic cherries or any cherry products; instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement broadly—bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and beverages—for school nutrition programs across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code either receives infrequent use in state and local purchasing or was misapplied to opportunities that fall outside its specific commodity definition.

School districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida dominate the recent activity, issuing RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs for comprehensive fresh produce supply contracts to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) at an estimated annual value of $78,000, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items across multiple varieties (due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables for elementary school sites under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 (due March 11, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026). Vendor evaluation emphasizes cost, product quality, traceability, delivery reliability, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and food safety documentation; geographic sourcing preferences and local-farm prioritization appear in several opportunities. If pursuing this code, confirm that cherries are among the produce items solicited in any specific opportunity before committing resources, as the current activity stream reflects general fresh produce procurement rather than organic cherry-specific demand.
