UNSPSC 50304909: August red nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as august red nectarines

UNSPSC 50304909 August red nectarines (Commodity) covers fresh nectarine supply and delivery to state and local food service operations, including correctional facilities, school districts, senior centers, and institutional health care providers. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying nectarines as part of broader fresh produce procurement for meal programs rather than as standalone specialty items; the code sits within larger fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts serving child nutrition programs under CACFP and USDA guidelines, senior meal services, and inmate food operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, county and municipal departments of human services, and regional health care coalitions. The mix reflects institutional food service rather than retail or commercial agriculture.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi school districts and state agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables (including nectarines within the broader produce specification) for delivery to Wynne Food Warehouse and Snyder Food Warehouse under IFB IW267411 and IW267420, both with October 14, 2026 response dates; the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center requesting fresh fruits and vegetables for fiscal year 2027 (response due August 14, 2026); and the Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4163 (response due July 29, 2026) with a requirement for produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin. Across these opportunities, nectarines appear as line items within composite produce specifications rather than as sole-source buys; pricing is typically per pound or per case, with compliance requirements including HACCP plans, traceability documentation by farm of origin, delivery-date labeling, liability insurance, and prevailing wage compliance where applicable.
