UNSPSC 50304900: Nectarines

A peach with a smooth-skinned fruit that is a frequent somatic mutation of the normal peach

UNSPSC 50304900 Nectarines is a Class code describing fresh fruit procurement by state and local government entities. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities do not reflect procurement of nectarines specifically. Instead, the source shows sustained demand for broad fresh produce supply — including apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and other produce varieties — to institutional food-service operations. State and local buyers are contracting for fresh produce under this taxonomy across school districts, corrections departments, mental health facilities, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. Issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), state corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and city services (Collier County Parks and Recreation, San Antonio Senior Services, Marion Health Care Coalition), and Head Start child care networks. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi over the past five months.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to correctional food warehouses at Palestine and Snyder with IFB response dates of October 19 and October 14, 2026, respectively; the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside with a quote deadline of September 3, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District issuing bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding); and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County) conducting sealed-bid procurements for fresh produce with June 2026 deadlines. Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, prevailing wage requirements in some jurisdictions, and local-vendor preferences (Wisconsin, Texas, Georgia, Florida) are standard. Most contracts run for one school or fiscal year with renewal options. Pricing typically follows firm fixed or cost-plus-fee models with no fuel surcharges, and minimum liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million is routine.
