UNSPSC 50304938: Red roy nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as red roy nectarines

UNSPSC 50304938 Red roy nectarines is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh stone fruits for child nutrition programs, school meal services, senior center food distribution, and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and child care programs acquiring nectarines as part of broader fresh produce contracts, typically bundled with other fruits and vegetables to meet USDA meal program standards and nutritional requirements. The code appears inactive in standalone sourcing—no recent opportunities specify red roy nectarines by variety or exclusive procurement—and instead surfaces incidentally within multi-item produce RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs where nectarines are listed alongside apples, berries, citrus, and seasonal stone fruits at undefined volumes.

State and local issuing bodies sourcing produce under related UNSPSC codes span school districts of all sizes (from early-county single-district procurements to large systems like Austin ISD, Hillsborough County, and McAllen ISD serving tens of thousands of students), county school boards across Georgia and beyond, child care and Head Start agencies, senior services departments, and correctional food services. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County schools and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30+ districts), Texas (McAllen, Austin, Edinburg), Florida (Hillsborough), Connecticut (Meriden), and Oregon (Central Point), with isolated activity in Mississippi, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and California. The most representative recent opportunities—the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 Fresh Produce and Eggs (RFP posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, serving 30 Georgia districts with $5.5 million estimated annual spend), McAllen ISD's RFP 2026-1029 (due March 6, serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses), Hillsborough County's FFVP contract (RFP 26039RFPDST posted April 13 for 18 elementary schools), and Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 (released January 28, proposals due February 25, value approximately $3.1 million)—treat produce as commodity bundles where individual fruit varieties compete on price, quality, delivery reliability, and food safety certification rather than as differentiated specialty items. The code's low visibility as a standalone line item suggests that red roy nectarines, when procured, are acquired through broad produce distributors responding to multi-category RFPs rather than through nectarine-specific sourcing.
