UNSPSC 50304908: August pearl nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as august pearl nectarines

UNSPSC 50304908 August pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this taxonomy entry. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show minimal relevance to August pearl nectarines specifically; instead, they span broad fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts, produce-market operating services, grocery item procurement for school meal programs, and facility food service. The issuing bodies include state correctional and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bryan County in Georgia, DeSoto County in Mississippi), counties (Collier County, Florida), cities (San Antonio, Edinburg, and Bridgeport, Texas and Connecticut), and specialized food program contractors (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). The geographic spread spans Texas, Illinois, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Mississippi, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts.

Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing an RFQ for fresh fruit and vegetables delivery to its Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026, IW267420) and Palestine facility (due October 19, 2026, IW267376); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids for petite bananas at $78,000 annual value under RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 with Wisconsin sourcing and organic-produce pricing preferences (due July 29, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points (due March 6, 2025); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting quotes for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small business set-aside (due September 3, 2026, solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849); and the City of Edinburg, Texas requesting proposals for Child and Adult Care Food Program meal items including fresh produce serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 with local-vendor preference (due August 4, 2026). The code itself appears misaligned with procurement practice; vendors pursuing produce supply contracts should monitor school nutrition, correctional facility food service, and municipal park concession procurements rather than relying on this specific nectarine commodity designation.
