UNSPSC 50304935: Red diamond nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as red diamond nectarines

UNSPSC 50304935 Red diamond nectarines is a Commodity code capturing fresh stone fruit procurement by state and local government. State and local buyers under this code solicit fresh produce — primarily nectarines, but more broadly stone fruits, berries, and mixed fresh produce — for institutional food service: correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, and child nutrition programs including Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and USDA National School Lunch Program operations. Procurement spans supply-only contracts (fresh fruit delivery to receiving warehouses or central distribution points) and full food service operations (produce handling, processing, packaging, and on-site meal delivery). Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school boards, city senior services divisions, and regional healthcare networks. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting fresh fruit and vegetable supplies across multiple facilities. Requirements typically mandate HACCP plans, food safety compliance, quality and ripeness standards (often referencing USDA grades or vendor-specific color guides), temperature-controlled delivery and storage, and insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $1 million general liability.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Midwest. Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted three solicitations between late September and mid-October 2026 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses serving Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne facilities (IFB/RFQ notice types, response dates October 14–19, 2026). Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin, requested bids on petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026; estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026; approximately 5,900 servings weekly). Illinois Department of Corrections sought fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026). Multiple Georgia school districts — Hancock County (over 200 fresh produce line items, due June 26, 2026), Dougherty County (40 produce items, due June 16, 2026), Bartow County (local sourcing within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026), Early County (300+ food and non-food items including fresh produce, due June 8, 2026), and Bryan County (comprehensive fresh produce including carrots, onions, strawberries, tomatoes, due May 27, 2026) — issued IFB or RFP notices during May and June 2026. Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing preferences appear standard; local-vendor preferences and diverse-owned business status scoring appear in multiple recent procurements. Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year with options for renewal, and pricing is firm for the contract period unless escalation clauses tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index are invoked.
