UNSPSC 50304936: Red gold nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as red gold nectarines

UNSPSC 50304936 Red gold nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh nectarines and other fresh produce through food-service supply contracts, primarily for institutional feeding programs including school nutrition (National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs), correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care facilities, and public parks. Recent solicitations show produce purchased as line items within broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts; the code itself represents a single produce commodity rather than a standalone procurement category. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county school districts across the Southeast, city school systems, county boards of education, municipal parks departments, and Head Start providers. School districts dominate the activity, followed by correctional and human-services agencies.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued three separate RFQ notices in September and October 2026 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411), with response dates of October 14 and October 19, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District issued bids for petite bananas and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026; annual contract value $78,000 for bananas). Dougherty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County School Nutrition, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all issued sealed-bid solicitations for fresh produce during the 2026-27 school year (bids due May through June 2026), covering 40 to 200+ line items each with contract terms July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center and Illinois Department of Corrections' Joliet Treatment Center issued small-purchase RFQs for fresh produce delivery through August 2026 (27444DHSMENTHB53608, 27426DOCJOLIEB53849). Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited food services at North Collier Regional Park via ITN (258360, due March 6, 2025). Pricing models include firm fixed-price per unit, cost-plus-fee structures, and cooperative purchasing discounts; delivery frequency ranges from twice weekly to once per week; and quality standards emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP certification, traceability by farm of origin, and domestic sourcing where required by federal Buy American provisions (7 CFR 210.21).
