UNSPSC 50352504: Frozen organic bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352504 Frozen organic bing cherries, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of fresh and frozen produce for school nutrition programs, though recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal specific activity for the named product and instead emphasize broad grocery and fresh-produce procurement. School districts, counties, and municipalities issue the vast majority of solicitations under this code tier, with the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program driving demand. Scope across recent opportunities spans produce staples (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), frozen and prepared items, and related grocery categories, typically packaged on standard pallets for Monday–Friday delivery between early morning and early afternoon to central warehouses or individual school sites. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content are standard, as are HACCP plans, food recall procedures, nutrition labeling compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and whole-grain or low-sodium formulations. Vendors must carry general liability and products liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate), maintain E-Verify authorization where required by state law, and submit USDA compliance certifications and health inspection records. Bid prices remain firm for contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30, with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted; payment terms are commonly Net 30 to Net 45 days.
