UNSPSC 50352521: Frozen organic sonata cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352521 Frozen organic sonata cherries is a Commodity code that classifies a narrowly defined product line—specifically, frozen organic cherries of the Sonata variety—yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code actually solicits broad-based frozen and fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs rather than this single specialized fruit item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased under it suggests the code sees little relevant recent activity aligned with its intended commodity definition. Frozen organic sonata cherries themselves appear rarely or not at all in the recent solicitations; instead, school districts and educational agencies are procuring general frozen foods and grocery items through IFBs and RFPs that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple product categories to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

The recent opportunities show school districts and county boards of education as the primary issuing bodies—including Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—with a concentration of activity in Georgia and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, and prepared items, and the Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh and frozen produce. The Douglas County School System also issued a regional RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), and the State of Georgia itself posted a broader food supplies and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026. These solicitations uniformly require Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery to multiple school sites, and compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards and USDA whole-grain requirements.
