UNSPSC 50304938: Red roy nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as red roy nectarines

UNSPSC 50304938 Red roy nectarines is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader fresh produce and food-service supply contracts for institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show red roy nectarines are not commonly procured as standalone line items; instead, they appear bundled within comprehensive fresh-fruit-and-vegetable procurement categories that serve correctional facilities, school districts, county parks, senior centers, and mental health institutions. The actual buying pattern spans fresh produce distribution to multiple facility types—prisons, schools, health centers, and civic venues—where produce vendors supply seasonal fruit assortments including apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons, and stone fruits (which would encompass nectarines when in season) under multi-month or annual contracts. Issuing bodies range across state corrections departments, county school boards and nutrition programs, municipal parks and recreation divisions, state mental health facilities, county commissioners' offices, and specialized health-care coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer, posting multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses and prison facilities; Georgia school districts and Texas school districts also dominate recent activity, with solicitations emphasizing local-sourcing preferences, USDA compliance, and seasonal availability.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and the upper Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin), with additional activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for the Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, due October 14, 2026) and Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026), both seeking general produce supply via the TDCJ Procurement Portal; Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual value $78,000) specifying 150-count case packs in defined ripeness stages; Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed produce bid (due May 27, 2026) covering over a dozen fruit and vegetable line items across multiple cases for the 2026-2027 school year; and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026) with contract performance through June 30, 2027. The code shows active seasonal demand tied to school-year meal programs and institutional foodservice cycles, with most solicitations running July through June annual terms and emphasizing firm pricing, refrigerated delivery, HACCP compliance, and domestic-sourcing preferences under USDA Buy American provisions.
