UNSPSC 50332522: Dried organic lambert cherries

The variety of organic cherries known as organic lambert cherries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50332522 Dried organic lambert cherries is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government procurement of specialty dried fruit products, though the recent opportunity record shows limited direct demand for this specific item. The code sits within the broader fresh and dried produce categories that school districts, correctional facilities, and other public nutrition programs source regularly. School nutrition programs dominate recent procurement activity across dried and fresh produce, with school districts issuing IFBs and RFPs for multi-hundred-line-item food supply contracts that bundle fresh produce, dried fruits, proteins, and staple items. Correctional facilities and county nutrition services round out the buyer mix. The work being solicited includes general produce supply (fresh apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus), bulk dried fruit procurement (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends), and nuts, all subject to USDA compliance, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, and strict food safety certifications including HACCP plans and product traceability.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with additional recent solicitations in California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response date covering over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 on April 27, 2026, spanning multiple food categories with weekly deliveries to 45 schools; and Santa Clara County, California solicited dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, pecans) for a detention facility under ITB with a February 5, 2026 deadline. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) bid over 900 grocery line items on April 29, 2026, and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two areas, with March 4, 2026 proposal deadline and approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend. Dried lambert cherries specifically do not appear in any recent posted opportunity, suggesting limited current state and local demand for this commodity in isolation; opportunities naming dried fruits typically request mixed assortments (raisins, cranberries, tropical blends) rather than single-varietal dried cherries.
