UNSPSC 50352510: Frozen organic king cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352510 Frozen organic king cherries (Commodity) describes specialty frozen fruit that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of comprehensive school nutrition contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Recent solicitations show school districts bundling frozen cherry purchases within much larger grocery or frozen-foods bids that span 900+ line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared entrees. The code's scope reflects individual commodity sourcing rather than standalone frozen-cherry procurement; state and local buyers treat frozen cherries as one component of annual school nutrition supply agreements rather than a discrete contracting vehicle. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education serving student populations ranging from under 6,900 to over 25,500, with administrative sourcing by district child nutrition services or central purchasing offices.
