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, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable and prepared food items that state and local governments purchase for nutrition and food service operations, though recent activity under this code shows little direct solicitation of the frozen cherry specialty item itself. Instead, the code appears tagged to broader food-procurement solicitations where frozen organic ranier cherries are one line item among hundreds spanning fresh produce, frozen products, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. School districts and county departments dominate the buyer mix, procuring food inventories to support National School Lunch Program operations, senior services, and community nutrition initiatives. Individual line items within these solicitations may include frozen fruit varieties, but the solicitations are priced and awarded on aggregate baskets rather than by specialty commodity.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh and frozen produce across the 2026–27 school year with a June 26 bid deadline, spanning over 200 line items including berries and specialty fruits; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted an electronic bid on June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, requiring Buy American compliance and laboratory testing of samples; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery due by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies with a June 8 deadline. Vendors should note that frozen organic ranier cherries, if offered, would compete as one line item in large multi-category awards where lowest-price-responsive evaluation and split-award provisions predominate.
