UNSPSC 50352513: Frozen organic larian cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352513 Frozen organic larian cherries is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products sold into state and local school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show school districts and education agencies procuring frozen and fresh produce items as components of broader grocery and food-service contracts. The code sits within a much larger ecosystem of school meal procurement where frozen fruits appear alongside hundreds of other food items — cereals, vegetables, breads, dairy, meats, condiments, and snack products — all subject to USDA National School Lunch Program requirements, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), whole-grain and nutrition standards, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education at the county and municipal level, with participation from state procurement offices. These jurisdictions conduct annual or multi-year rolling procurements to supply child nutrition services across dozens to hundreds of school sites.

Activity concentrates in the South, particularly Georgia and Connecticut, with recent representation from Missouri and broader multi-state cooperative purchasing. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items (including frozen products) for the Bridgeport Board of Education with a June 30, 2026 IFB deadline covering over 1,100 line items; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 deadline; the Douglas County School System in Georgia managed an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across two geographic areas with a March 4, 2026 deadline and estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million per area; and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items (over 900 line items) with an April 29, 2026 deadline, serving nearly 19,000 students. Specific frozen cherry procurements do not surface in recent postings; the code shows little directly relevant recent activity despite robust general frozen and fresh produce solicitation across school nutrition programs nationwide.
