UNSPSC 50304929: Kay pearl nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as kay pearl nectarines

UNSPSC 50304929 Kay pearl nectarines is a Commodity code representing a single fresh fruit product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are purchasing fresh nectarines as part of broader fruit and produce procurement portfolios for institutional meal service, though nectarines appear as line items within larger fresh produce contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys.

The issuing-body mix reflects the dominance of school districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California, supplemented by county boards of education, municipal school systems, and specialized food programs such as Head Start, the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and senior services divisions. Most recent activity clusters in school district produce procurement during spring and early summer 2026 for the upcoming fiscal year. Georgia school districts appear most frequently in the recent opportunity set, including Bryan County Schools, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, alongside Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Oregon (Central Point School District), and California (Santa Clara County). The City of Edinburg, Texas issued an RFP for a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service on July 16, 2026, due August 4, 2026, seeking beverages, paper goods, food products including fruits and vegetables, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children daily, with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin solicited fresh produce items in two separate RFBs posted July 8, 2026: petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026) at an estimated contract value of $78,000, and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (response due July 29, 2026) sourced within 400 miles of Madison with a 5% diverse-owned business preference. The Bartow County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables on May 21, 2026, requiring produce from farms within 400 miles, with proposal deadline June 22, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida issued an RFP on April 13, 2026, for specialty fresh fruits and vegetables to support the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools (potentially expanding to 20), with proposals due March 11, 2026, and estimated annual budget of $600,000 funded entirely by USDA grant awards. A cooperative purchasing vehicle—the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts across two geographic areas—posted an RFP on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs with response due March 4, 2026, covering estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 26RFP034 on February 14, 2026, for fresh produce and a la carte beverages across Travis County and Austin City jurisdictions, due March 11, 2026, emphasizing Good Food Purchasing Program participation and domestic sourcing. The recent-opportunity set shows nectarines embedded in procurement activity focused on fresh fruit and produce staples, with emphasis on quality, food safety compliance (HACCP, GAP certification, recalls), Buy American provisions, and where funded by federal programs, alignment with USDA nutrition standards and domestic sourcing thresholds. Geographic concentration in school district meal programs across the Southeast, Texas, and select districts in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast reflects the seasonal nature of institutional food procurement cycles and the clustering of RFP/IFB activity in the spring and early summer months ahead of the July 1 fiscal year start.
