UNSPSC 50352511: Frozen organic chapman cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352511 Frozen organic chapman cherries, Commodity tier, encompasses shelf-stable and prepared food products purchased by state and local jurisdictions for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly feature broader grocery and fresh produce categories rather than specialty frozen fruit items. State and local purchasing offices, school districts, and county departments of community services are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of activity through state-level cooperative bids and individual district RFQs and IFBs. The work includes procurement of shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods meeting USDA nutrition standards and Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), with emphasis on whole-grain compliance, sodium reduction, and allergen management. Vendors must navigate complex compliance regimes including HACCP plans, food recall procedures, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, general liability insurance at $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, and blind product testing by school personnel and laboratory technicians.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Connecticut, with recent opportunities spanning Gwinnett County (informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (sealed bid on over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (electronic bids on over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, with Buy American and USDA compliance requirements), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line bids on 300+ food items plus 60 non-food products due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products with due date June 22, 2026). School nutrition programs dominate; all recent opportunities require firm fixed pricing with transportation and packing included, Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms, and multi-location delivery logistics. The code shows minimal recent activity specifically targeting frozen organic specialty items and instead reflects broad institutional food sourcing aligned with school lunch and breakfast programs.
