UNSPSC 50304902: Arctic mist nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as arctic mist nectarines

UNSPSC 50304902 Arctic mist nectarines, a Commodity code, does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under the recent solicitations tagged to this code. The code nominally describes a single fresh fruit variety; the actual procurements are for comprehensive food service supply — multiple fresh produce categories, proteins, dairy, beverages, paper goods, janitorial supplies, and kitchen equipment spanning school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and corrections food services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Henry County Schools in Georgia; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Austin Independent School District in Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county school boards (Dougherty County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, and Muscogee County in Georgia; Early County Schools in Georgia), municipal school systems (Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Central Point School District in Oregon), child care and Head Start programs (City of Edinburg, Texas, for a CACFP meal program; Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.), county corrections (County of Santa Clara, California), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative representing 30+ Georgia school districts). The geographic spread concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with recent activity also in Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and California.

Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) at an estimated annual value of $78,000, City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies including beverages, paper goods, proteins, and produce (due August 4, 2026), Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and USDA foods spanning 13 school sites with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (due February 25, 2026, now closed), the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 Georgia districts across two geographic areas with combined estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages to 18 elementary FFVP sites with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 (due March 11, 2026). These procurements operate as IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates spanning February through August 2026. The code shows active, substantial procurement volume across institutional food service markets but reflects institutional fresh-produce-and-food-service supply chains rather than single-commodity fruit purchasing.
