UNSPSC 50304921: Flamekist nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as flamekist nectarines

UNSPSC 50304921 Flamekist nectarines is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of specialized fresh produce varieties, though the recent opportunity stream shows minimal direct demand for Flamekist nectarines specifically. Instead, state and local buyers are procuring fresh fruits and vegetables across broad categories — bananas, apples, berries, stone fruits, and mixed produce — as components of institutional food service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs. The buying pattern reflects production and supply-chain realities: solicitations request commodity-level pricing on standardized produce items (petite bananas in specific case counts and ripeness stages, apples by variety and grade, carrots in bulk and pre-cut forms) rather than branded or varietal specificity. School nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and county health agencies dominate the issuer base, with food-service contracts typically running one to three years and requiring USDA compliance, Buy American certification, delivery temperature control, HACCP plans, and commercial liability insurance in the $500,000 to $1 million range.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IW267420, IW267411, response dates October 14, 2026), the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, bid due June 26, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections procuring fresh produce with bi-weekly delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) under a small-business set-aside. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) is bidding petite bananas with an estimated annual value of $78,000 (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks from Wisconsin-sourced suppliers with a 5% diversity preference (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026). Geographic sourcing restrictions appear in several solicitations — Wisconsin and Georgia buyers specify local-origin produce within 400 miles — while pricing models vary between fixed unit rates and cost-plus-fee structures. No solicitations in the source name Flamekist nectarines by brand or proprietary variety, indicating limited differentiation opportunity at the commodity procurement tier for varietal-specific stone fruits under this code.
