UNSPSC 50304939: Rio red nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as rio red nectarines

UNSPSC 50304939 Rio red nectarines, a Commodity code, describes fresh stone fruit that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and child care operations. Recent solicitations show nectarines purchased as part of broader fresh produce supply contracts rather than as standalone line items, typically bundled with mixed fruit and vegetable deliveries under institutional meal programs governed by USDA nutrition standards, CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) compliance, or state correctional and mental health dietary requirements. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, municipal school systems, county and city senior services divisions, regional health care coalitions, and child care networks. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple produce solicitations in recent months for food warehouse supply, while school districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Illinois represent the largest cohort of recent activity; correctional and mental health facilities in Illinois have also issued targeted procurement notices.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and Midwest, with Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, DeSoto County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Illinois (Department of Corrections at Joliet, Department of Mental Health at Hines), Texas (TDCJ multiple locations), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) posting fresh produce bids between April and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for Wynne Food Warehouse and Snyder Food Warehouse (both due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' produce solicitation for Joliet Treatment Center with bi-weekly delivery requirements (due September 3, 2026 under small business set-aside), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas with estimated annual value of $78,000 for a September 2026 through June 2027 term (due July 29, 2026). School districts consistently specify Buy American content minimums (51% domestic agricultural commodity), HACCP compliance, F.O.B. Destination pricing with no fuel surcharges, and firm pricing for contract periods, often with optional renewal terms.
