The variety of nectarines known as earliglo nectarines

UNSPSC 50304915 Earliglo nectarines — a Commodity code — does not reflect the scope of what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry. Recent solicitations tagged to this code cover broad fresh produce and food supply procurement, not nectarines as a standalone item. The issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), state mental-health facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health), school nutrition programs across multiple states (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg, City of San Antonio), counties (Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition), and child-care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The work being solicited spans bi-weekly or weekly fresh-fruit-and-vegetable delivery to correctional facilities, mental-health treatment centers, school cafeterias, senior centers, and child nutrition programs; produce must meet USDA quality standards, arrive fresh and damage-free, and comply with food-safety regulations including HACCP plans and domestic-sourcing rules under the Buy American Act where applicable.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Connecticut, with solicitations spanning detention-facility commissaries, institutional food warehouses, school central-production kitchens, and mobile senior-center distribution models. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable bids for its Palestine and Snyder facilities (IFB, due October 19 and October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking produce for Joliet Treatment Center (IFB with small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas in 150-count cases at $78,000 annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), Bartow County School System seeking local-sourced produce within 400 miles (RFP, due June 22, 2026), and Collier County Parks & Recreation issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park (ITN with local-vendor preference, due March 6, 2025). Contract terms typically run one fiscal or school year with optional renewals; pricing follows firm-fixed or cost-plus-fee models; and deliveries demand early-morning windows, temperature control, and 95–98 percent fill rates.
