UNSPSC 50352502: Frozen organic brooks cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352502 Frozen organic brooks cherries, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local procurement of school nutrition supplies, though recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific item. Instead, the code appears in broader grocery and produce solicitations issued by school districts and education boards that cast wide nets across hundreds of line items spanning frozen products, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods. State and local buyers under related commodity codes—particularly school nutrition programs—prioritize USDA compliance (including Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, products without nuts or nut oils, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition compliance. Vendors must submit nutritional analyses, ingredient panels, health inspection records, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, commercial general liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, E-Verify authorization, and proof of debarment and suspension verification. Deliveries occur Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites with no separate fuel surcharges permitted and payment typically due within 30 to 45 days of receipt and inspection.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut school districts and county education boards, with representative opportunities including the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting fresh produce across 200-plus items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) procuring 72 fresh produce items under Bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026). School districts in Missouri and additional Georgia jurisdictions also posted concurrent solicitations. The code itself sees sparse recent direct tagging; frozen organic berries appear as line items within comprehensive grocery and produce contracts rather than standalone procurements, signaling that frozen-fruit vendors succeed by winning slots within larger district-wide food-service awards rather than through single-item contracts.
