UNSPSC 50312531: Organic ranier cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic ranier cherries

UNSPSC 50312531 Organic ranier cherries (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for organic ranier cherries; instead, school districts and education cooperatives across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin are actively procuring general fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable program items, and eggs through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the sourced opportunities suggests that either the code has been incorrectly applied to broader fresh-produce procurement or the available recent activity does not include transactions specific to this commodity. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base, with repeat issuers including Madison Metropolitan School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System (operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative), alongside independent school districts in Texas and Florida and the State of Georgia procurement office. Opportunities range from small single-item solicitations (Madison Metropolitan RFB 4162 for petite bananas, due July 29, 2026) to large multiproduce procurements (Douglas County RFP SN 26-004 for 30 districts across two Georgia areas, estimated at $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with additional solicitations in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida.

Recent opportunities emphasize domestic sourcing, local-growth preferences, and USDA compliance (Buy American, HACCP, food traceability, and recall procedures), but none explicitly target organic ranier cherries. The code as named appears inactive in current state and local procurement, and vendors monitoring this category should verify whether the code designation accurately reflects their target market or whether broader fresh-produce family and class codes better align with school district nutrition program activity.
