UNSPSC 50304944: Ruddy jewel nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as ruddy jewel nectarines

UNSPSC 50304944 Ruddy jewel nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code primarily purchase fresh fruit for institutional food service operations — school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs — with a strong emphasis on fresh produce delivery to support meal programs serving vulnerable populations. The code activity reflects nectarines as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing, though recent opportunities show the category operating within larger produce procurements rather than single-fruit line-item contracts; the code encompasses both stand-alone nectarine bids and nectarines as line items within multi-category fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, and specialized service providers including Head Start centers, senior services, and health care coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia school districts (Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education) appear repeatedly in recent activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Illinois, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring fresh fruit and vegetables for the Palestine facility (RFP IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder Food Warehouse (RFP IW267420, due October 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual contract value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) with sourcing restricted to 400 miles within Wisconsin; and Bryan County Schools (Georgia) conducting sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce including bananas and multiple varieties (sealed bid due May 27, 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections sought fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026). Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance, HACCP documentation, and local-vendor or diverse-business preferences appear across multiple solicitations; payment terms commonly run Net 30 to Net 45, with contract periods spanning one fiscal year with renewal options.
