UNSPSC 50304950: Summer brite nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as summer brite nectarines

UNSPSC 50304950 Summer brite nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single produce item—summer brite nectarines—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts of much broader scope, including comprehensive produce mixes, institutional meal programs, school nutrition operations, and senior center food distribution. The issuing bodies are highly diverse: state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), state mental health facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County, DeSoto County, and others in Georgia), city and county human services departments (Collier County, San Antonio, Bridgeport), a regional health coalition, and Head Start programs. The code appears to be a catch-all tag applied to general produce procurement rather than a specific item-level classification.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Connecticut, with school district nutrition programs and state institutional food service representing the largest share of opportunities. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetable supply for the Palestine facility (IFB IW267376, due October 19, 2026), the Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas at approximately 70–90 cases weekly for school year 2026–2027 (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia soliciting over 200 line items of fresh produce for 2026–2027 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). School districts typically impose Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), geographic sourcing preferences (Wisconsin requiring produce within 400 miles), HACCP plans, and food-safety compliance; many apply small business or diverse-owned business evaluation points and local-vendor preferences. The code signal is weak—the breadth of produce types actually being procured far exceeds the narrow commodity name, and the opportunities are driven by meal-program volume and institutional food service cycles rather than nectarine-specific demand.
