UNSPSC 50314912: Organic bright pearl nectarines

The variety of organic nectarines known as organic bright pearl nectarines

UNSPSC 50314912 Organic bright pearl nectarines is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialty fruit variety, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span fresh produce procurement broadly—including bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and prepared produce items—across school nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food service. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Douglas County), Texas independent school districts (McAllen, Austin), and Florida districts (Hillsborough County) soliciting produce contracts. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin and early-county boards of education also appear in the recent pipeline. No repeat buyers stand out, though most solicitations come from school nutrition departments operating under National School Lunch Program or USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding structures.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with 200+ line items across multiple varieties (due June 26, 2026); Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce items serving 30 districts across two regions with approximately $5.5 million combined estimated annual spending (due March 4, 2026). Evaluation criteria across these solicitations emphasize cost competitiveness (typically 30–50%), product quality and availability, vendor experience with school food service, compliance with Buy American and HACCP requirements, and references. All contracts require HACCP plans, food safety certifications, liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $2 million), weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to school sites, and firm pricing for 12 months with price-redetermination provisions tied to USDA market indices. The code's nominal commodity description does not materially align with state and local procurement practice at this tier.
