UNSPSC 50352531: Frozen organic ranier cherries

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

UNSPSC 50352531 Frozen organic ranier cherries is a Commodity code that, while nominally specific to a single fruit variety, does not align with the scope of recent state and local opportunities tagged to it. The recent solicitations in the dataset address broad school nutrition procurement — frozen and fresh produce categories, comprehensive grocery items spanning hundreds of line items (meats, dairy, grains, condiments, snacks, vegetables, and prepared foods), and food service distribution. None of the posted opportunities isolate frozen ranier cherries or any single produce line item; instead, they solicit bids on large assortments where frozen cherries, if included at all, appear as one option among dozens of frozen and fresh fruit choices. The code's abstract name does not reflect the composite, multi-category food procurement that state and local school nutrition programs actually conduct. School districts and municipal purchasing offices across Georgia, Missouri, and Connecticut issue the bulk of recent activity under this code tag, soliciting through standard IFB and RFP vehicles to supply their National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting grocery items (over 1,100 line items across breakfast, produce, dairy, snacks, and meat) with bids due June 30, 2026 (IFB BNB052266); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting fresh produce across 200-plus line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 (IFB #SN002-2027); and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 districts with an estimated annual spend of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area, with proposals due March 4, 2026. Additional activity includes the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) requesting fresh produce across 72 items with sealed bids due April 23, 2026. Buy American compliance (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), firm fixed pricing with transportation included, HACCP plans, and quarterly or midterm price adjustments supported by USDA or CPI documentation are consistent requirements across these districts. The code shows no significant recent activity in states outside the Southeast and Connecticut.
