UNSPSC 50304943: Ruby sweet nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as ruby sweet nectarines

UNSPSC 50304943 Ruby sweet nectarines, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh stone fruit supplied to state and local government nutrition programs—primarily school districts, child care facilities, and senior services providers—through solicited produce contracts. Recent state and local opportunities show this code capturing fresh fruit procurement for child nutrition initiatives, school meal programs, and senior center food distribution, though the nectarines category itself appears as part of broader fresh produce line-item bidding alongside apples, bananas, berries, and seasonal fruit varieties rather than as standalone specialty fruit sourcing.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia school districts and Texas child care programs. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for a CACFP meal program (due August 4, 2026) spanning food and nonfood supplies for approximately 400 children daily, with fresh produce as one of five supply categories evaluated on cost (30%), qualifications (25%), technical approach (25%), and menu quality/nutrition (20%). Across Georgia, multiple school nutrition programs—including Bulloch County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Bartow County School System, and others—have posted sealed bids and RFPs for fresh produce bundles during March through May 2026 with July 2026 contract effective dates, typically requiring weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, HACCP compliance, and Buy American provisions mandating domestic sourcing where practicable. The City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services issued RFP 26-070 (posted May 27, 2026) for produce market operations at 15 senior center locations with on-site distribution, and Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited bids (IFB 26-GP, posted June 24, 2026) for $969,460.94 in frozen foods, produce, and meat to serve CACFP-eligible children ages 6 weeks to 5 years with a one-year initial term plus four optional renewals. The nectarines code sees limited standalone activity; recent opportunities reflect nectarines as a minor line item within comprehensive fresh produce specifications rather than as a targeted commodity. Pursuit viability depends on vendor capability to compete in broader produce distribution contracts where nectarines function as a seasonal fill item within multi-fruit sourcing rather than as a primary revenue driver.
