UNSPSC 50304914: Diamond ray nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as diamond ray nectarines

UNSPSC 50304914 Diamond ray nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows limited direct engagement with the specific produce item; instead, recent solicitations across the code's family demonstrate broad fresh-fruit and fresh-vegetable procurement spanning institutional food service for correctional facilities, mental-health centers, schools, senior services, and municipal recreation. The actual work being bought includes bi-weekly or weekly produce delivery to food service operations, with vendors sourcing produce to meet USDA quality standards and food-safety compliance, handling all transportation and temperature control to designated facilities, and accommodating flexible ordering with lead times as short as one to two weeks. State and local governments issue these solicitations through departments of corrections, departments of mental health, school boards (unified districts and county systems), county health coalitions, and municipal recreation or human services divisions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and multiple Georgia and Florida school districts appear as repeat buyers. Issuing bodies commonly apply Buy American requirements mandating domestic sourcing, impose prevailing-wage compliance on food-service contracts, and emphasize product freshness guarantees with 97–98 percent fill-rate minimums and same-day or 24-hour replacement protocols for damaged or rejected items.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for the Palestine and Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IFB and RFQ notices, October 2026 response dates); the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for fiscal year 2027 (small purchase procurement, August 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issuing an invitation for bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (IFB, June 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin requesting bids for petite bananas (150-count cases, 70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value estimate, July 2026 response) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and within Wisconsin (RFB, July 2026); and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services issuing a bid for over 1,100 grocery line items including fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products under National School Lunch Program compliance with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content (IFB, June 2026). Contracts typically run twelve months with options for renewal, require compliance with HACCP plans and temperature-control protocols, impose liability-insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or allow multiple vendor selection.
