UNSPSC 50352529: Frozen organic morello cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352529 Frozen organic morello cherries is a Commodity code that addresses a narrow product category within school food service procurement. State and local school districts procure frozen organic morello cherries as a component of broader grocery and frozen food supply contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The actual purchasing activity under this code reflects consolidation within larger multi-item food service bids rather than standalone cherry procurement — districts solicit these items as line entries within comprehensive frozen foods and grocery RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs that span hundreds of food products, frozen goods, produce, dairy, and condiments. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and regional boards of education, with occasional municipal departments purchasing food for school nutrition programs; repeat buyers include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Decatur City Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and the State of Georgia also solicit food items but typically do not isolate frozen cherries as discrete line items in available documentation.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' BNB052266 (Grocery Items, IFB, due June 30, 2026), which covers over 1,100 line items including frozen products, Hancock County Board of Education's PE67080NONST2027000000013 (Fresh Produce SY27, IFB, due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's PE55045NONST2027000000006 (FY27 Food Bid, due June 8, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 (Grocery Items, due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items). All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, include firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, require Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), demand HACCP plans and food recall procedures, and stipulate delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites Monday through Friday.
