UNSPSC 50304940: Rose diamond nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as rose diamond nectarines

UNSPSC 50304940 Rose diamond nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying fresh produce — primarily fresh fruits and vegetables — for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior centers, and child nutrition programs. The code encompasses individual fruit and vegetable lines (nectarines, apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes) delivered fresh in case quantities to central warehouses or individual facility locations. Recent solicitations reflect demand for quality-assured produce meeting USDA and program-specific standards, often with delivery constraints (early morning windows, refrigerated transport, weekly or bi-weekly schedules) and compliance requirements including HACCP plans, food-safety documentation, and Buy American provisions. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Early County, Dougherty County, Bartow County), cities and municipalities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and specialized service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). The mix reflects both direct state agency procurement and school nutrition program sourcing, with school districts representing the largest segment of recent activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, with recurring buyers including multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice food warehouses, Georgia school districts (Hancock, Bryan, Dougherty, Early, Bartow), and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation IW267376 (Palestine facility, responses due October 19, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, responses due March 6, 2025), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, approximately $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026), and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce covering 40 line items across 24 school nutrition sites (bids due June 16, 2026). School districts typically conduct annual or multi-year fixed-term procurements with opportunities for renewal; correctional and mental health facilities conduct recurring supply contracts. Many solicitations include local-vendor or domestic-sourcing preferences, geographic radii for produce origin (commonly 400 miles), and weighted evaluation criteria favoring cost, product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance documentation.
