UNSPSC 50352522: Frozen organic lambert cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352522 Frozen organic lambert cherries, a Commodity code, covers specialty frozen fruit products procured primarily by school districts to support child nutrition and food service programs. State and local governments buy frozen cherries and similar frozen organic fruits as line items within comprehensive food service bids that span produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school system central nutrition offices, which solicit frozen fruits as part of annual or multi-year National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply contracts. Procurement methods are IFBs and RFPs with firm fixed pricing, delivered on weekly or as-needed schedules to central warehouses or individual school sites, with compliance requirements including USDA Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, product labeling with nutrition fact panels, whole grain and low-sodium formulations, and liability insurance.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and surrounding southeastern states, with the most visible opportunities from school systems in Douglas County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, and the City Schools of Decatur, as well as school districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026 deadline, and the Douglas County School System procured fresh produce and eggs through a GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (March 4, 2026 deadline) covering 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million per area. Early County Board of Education and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System both solicited fresh produce contracts with spring 2026 deadlines. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri sought over 900 line items of grocery items with an April 29, 2026 deadline to serve approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. No recent opportunities explicitly name frozen organic lambert cherries, but the code likely captures line-item procurements nested within broader frozen and produce categories in these school nutrition supply contracts.
