UNSPSC 50352509: Frozen organic garnet cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352509 Frozen organic garnet cherries (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under this code. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all posted solicitations for broad grocery and food service categories — frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, poultry, grains, condiments, and prepared entrees to support school nutrition programs and centralized food operations. None of the recent opportunities explicitly name frozen organic garnet cherries or specialty frozen fruit products; the scope is consistently mainstream school lunch procurement spanning hundreds of line items across commodity staples, not specialty frozen berries. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from city purchasing departments and state procurement offices across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Recent solicitations have issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Proposal (RFP), with response dates concentrated in April through June 2026. The Douglas County School System has posted multiple solicitations — one for fresh produce and eggs under a cooperative buying agreement across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026), and another for main-line food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with approximately $9,000,000 estimated annual expenditure (due February 18, 2026). Smaller, single-district procurements include Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items bid with over 900 line items due April 29, 2026, and City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB with delivery to ten school sites (due May 15, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, firm pricing throughout the contract term, and payment Net 30 to Net 45 days are standard across all recent solicitations.
