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

UNSPSC 50352519 Frozen organic santina cherries is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition program fruit and produce sourcing. While the code name specifies a single product line, recent state and local solicitations tag the code within comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs that span hundreds of line items—frozen fruits, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared items—all subject to USDA nutrition standards, Buy American domestic-sourcing minimums (typically 51 percent for processed goods), and National School Lunch Program compliance. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from independent school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), consolidated county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), and city purchasing offices procuring on behalf of school food services (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for Bridgeport Board of Education). The State of Georgia also issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026, though the scope document was not disclosed in summary form.

Georgia and Missouri dominate recent activity under this code. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases issuing an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, requiring firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, Buy American compliance documentation, USDA nutritional standards, and blind testing of samples at vendor expense; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites and firm fixed pricing including transportation; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026.
