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 is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit products, though recent solicitation activity shows the code being applied primarily to broad-spectrum food purchasing that does not match the narrow product scope of the code's name. The five recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state agencies (State of Georgia), and collectively reflect purchasing of shelf-stable and refrigerated food staples — canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, fresh produce, bread, milk, and prepared items — rather than frozen specialty cherries specifically. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement cycles tied to July 1 contract starts. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local systems, or that the code's classification in procurement databases encompasses broader frozen-fruit and specialty-produce categories than the commodity name alone indicates.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty fruits) with bids due June 26, 2026, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including meats, dairy, vegetables, and fruits with bids due June 8, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products with quotes due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 and Buy American Provision compliance at 51% domestic agricultural ingredients required. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026, with full scope contained in attached documentation. All school-district solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed items), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.
