UNSPSC 50342525: Frozen tartarian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50342525 Frozen tartarian cherries is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments purchase frozen tartarian cherries and related frozen fruit items primarily to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and Head Start child care programs. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in large-scale institutional buyers acquiring frozen fruit as components of comprehensive grocery or produce bids rather than as standalone line items, though the code itself is narrowly defined to this single frozen cherry variety. The issuing-body mix spans school districts of varying sizes (from small rural boards of education to large consolidated systems), state health and human services departments operating institutional food service, county corrections facilities, and federally-funded child care organizations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers, though frozen tartarian cherries specifically occupy a minor role within broader food service procurements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (posted July 13, 2026, due July 27, 2026) for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, a blanket procurement spanning 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with an estimated annual spend of $32,226.36; and the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST (posted April 13, 2026, due March 11, 2026) for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program delivery to elementary schools at an estimated $600,000 annually. Frozen tartarian cherries do not appear as isolated procurements—they are subsumed within larger food service contracts where respondents bid line-by-line across dozens or hundreds of items. Purchasing activity is steady but not concentrated; most recent opportunities do not reference frozen tartarian cherries by name, suggesting limited standalone demand under this specific code. Vendors should expect to compete as part of comprehensive food service or produce supply agreements rather than specialized fruit procurement channels.
