UNSPSC 50342519: Frozen santina cherries

The variety of cherries known as santina cherries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342519 Frozen santina cherries is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and frozen produce for institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, child care centers, and county services. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in school district nutrition contracts and state health agency food service purchasing, where frozen cherry procurement appears embedded within broader fresh and frozen fruit line items rather than as standalone specialty-item solicitations.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services), Head Start providers, and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office of Correction). School districts and state health agencies dominate the market. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, New Jersey, California, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation (IFB HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026) for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital, spanning 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging materials with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36 and firm unit pricing on Exhibit C; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce including over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty items with firm pricing for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting CACFP requirements with estimated value of $969,460.94 and weighted evaluation favoring unit price and product quality. Frozen cherry solicitations appear only where embedded in multi-category frozen fruit RFQs (such as Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries, 40,000 pounds of unsweetened, Grade A or B IQF berries including Marion varieties, due April 23, 2026). No solicitation targets frozen santina cherries as a standalone line item. Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 are standard across all jurisdictions.
