UNSPSC 50304919: Fire pearl nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as fire pearl nectarines

UNSPSC 50304919 Fire pearl nectarines is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh fruit for institutional food service—principally school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care food programs. Recent solicitations show demand for fresh nectarines alongside broader fresh-produce procurement, though nectarines are typically bid as one line item within larger fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity orders. Issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Early County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District, Dougherty County Board of Education), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal governments (Collier County, DeSoto County), and specialized agencies including a regional health-care coalition and Head Start programs. The work typically involves weekly or bi-weekly delivery of case-packed fresh produce to central warehouses or individual school sites, compliance with USDA commodity standards, food-safety and HACCP certifications, and adherence to prevailing-wage and Buy American requirements where applicable.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with the most recent and dense solicitation activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County), Texas (Madison, Snyder, Wynne food warehouses under TDCJ; Head Start of Greater Dallas; Edinburg CACFP program), Illinois (Joliet Treatment Center, Madden Mental Health Center), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement of fresh fruit and vegetables for the Wynne Food Warehouse (IFB IW267411, due October 14, 2026) and the Hancock County Board of Education request for bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District bid fresh-fruit snacks under a localized Wisconsin-sourcing requirement with a 5% diverse-owned-business preference (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), and Bryan County Schools sought sealed bids on fresh produce including apples, berries, and other items for school year 2026-2027 (sealed bid, due May 27, 2026). School nutrition programs typically evaluate cost at 30–40% of award criteria, with product quality, compliance, and references weighted at 15–35% each; many contracts run one year with renewal options extending two to four years.
