UNSPSC 50304953: Summer grand nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as summer grand nectarines

UNSPSC 50304953 Summer grand nectarines is a Commodity code that names a single fresh-produce item — nectarines — but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly reflect procurement of broad fresh produce assortments (fruits, vegetables, and sometimes nonfood items) rather than nectarines specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity name and the actual buying patterns suggests minimal targeted demand for summer grand nectarines alone; instead, buyers are sourcing mixed fresh produce through contracts tagged at higher UNSPSC tiers or miscoded. School districts dominate recent solicitations, followed by state correctional and mental health departments, county systems, cities, and special-purpose service organizations. The issuing bodies span Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia purchasing office), Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Illinois (Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Florida (Collier County), and Mississippi (DeSoto County Schools). Texas and Georgia account for the heaviest recent posting activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables (including unspecified produce assortments) for delivery to correctional facilities in Palestine and Huntsville in September and October 2026 under solicitations IW267376, IW267420, and IW267411; Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids for petite bananas (150-count cases, ripeness stage 3.5–4.5 per Chiquita color guide, $78,000 annual estimated value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin (approximately 5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia seeking bids on over 200 fresh produce line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items for delivery to three school sites (bids due June 26, 2026); Bryan County Schools in Georgia requesting sealed bids on fresh produce including specified quantities of apples, carrots, onions, oranges, strawberries, and tomatoes (bids due May 27, 2026); and Collier County in Florida issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services including produce at regional parks and concession facilities (ITN due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). The Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health both posted small-purchase solicitations for fresh produce delivery in August 2026 under prevailing-wage and small-business set-aside frameworks. Most school-district procurements require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items or full domestic sourcing where practicable), USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program standards, HACCP plans, and general liability insurance. Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options.
