UNSPSC 50304919: Fire pearl nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as fire pearl nectarines

UNSPSC 50304919 Fire pearl nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy fresh nectarines under this code almost entirely within the context of child nutrition programs—school lunch, breakfast, and snack service; Head Start; and child and adult care food programs (CACFP)—where they appear as line items in produce procurements alongside apples, bananas, berries, and other fresh fruits. The code itself sees minimal standalone solicitation activity; nectarines surface as one item among 40–200+ line items in broad fresh-produce bids issued by school districts, county boards of education, and specialized nutrition programs. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of education and public instruction acting through subordinate school districts, county school systems, independent school districts in large metropolitan areas, and specialized early-childhood nutrition programs such as Head Start centers and CACFP providers. Repeat buyers—districts including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), and consortium purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative—regularly procure fresh produce on annual or multi-year cycles to supply 10–60+ school sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with the most recent solicitation density in Georgia (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and state-level commodity buys), Texas (Austin, McAllen, San Antonio, Edinburg), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (July 29, 2026 response) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (July 29, 2026), the City of Edinburg's RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal supplies including fruits and vegetables (August 4, 2026), and the Bulloch County School District's local-produce RFP SN 27 (May 4, 2026), each issued as invitation for bid or request for proposal with weekly or bi-weekly delivery to centralized warehouses or distributed school sites. Cost evaluation typically weights price at 30–50%, with product quality, delivery reliability, vendor qualifications, and compliance certifications (Buy American, HACCP, food safety) comprising the remainder.
