UNSPSC 50352518: Frozen organic ruby bing cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352518 Frozen organic ruby bing cherries is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce items state and local governments purchase for food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal activity specifically for frozen organic cherries. Instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring broad food and produce portfolios—including fresh produce, shelf-stable goods, frozen products, dairy, and specialty items—through school districts, county nutrition services, and municipal food departments. The work solicited ranges from single-line specialty items to comprehensive food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items across breakfast programs, school lunch initiatives, senior services meal programs, and institutional nutrition operations. Issuing bodies include school district boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Community Services), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Most recent opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, nutritional standards alignment with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and delivery on fixed schedules to multiple sites.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits with delivery to three school locations and a June 26, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education solicited approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies via line-by-line bid with a June 8, 2026 due date. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with response due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport solicited over 1,100 grocery-line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services via electronic bid with a June 30, 2026 submission deadline. The State of Georgia issued a broader solicitation for food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026. None of these recent solicitations explicitly named frozen organic ruby bing cherries as a line item, indicating that this specific commodity code shows little current state and local procurement activity.
