UNSPSC 50312529: Organic morello cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic morello cherries

UNSPSC 50312529 Organic morello cherries, a Commodity code, does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no posted solicitations for this specific product. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and comprehensive produce procurement for school nutrition programs—none of which align with organic morello cherries as a stand-alone line item. School districts and food service departments are actively sourcing fresh produce, but the recent activity focuses on broad commodity produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens) bundled into larger institutional food service contracts rather than specialty stone fruits.

State and local school nutrition programs dominate the posting activity in the produce space. Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, and Douglas County Schools (covering 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative) have all issued RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for fresh produce in 2026. Georgia-based school systems account for the bulk of recent activity, though Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida) also show solicitation momentum. Contracts typically span July 2026 through June 2027, with pricing established via competitive sealed bidding and awards made on line-item basis to single or multiple vendors. Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2 million general liability), and weekly delivery to multiple school sites are standard. Vendors are not competing specifically for organic morello cherries; activity centers on high-volume staples and specialty items within broad fresh-produce categories.
