UNSPSC 50324908: Dried august pearl nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as august pearl nectarines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324908 Dried August Pearl Nectarines, a Commodity code, covers dried nectarine products purchased primarily by school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local governments buy these items as part of broader fresh and processed fruit procurement to supply cafeteria and food-service operations. The scope is narrow—dried nectarines appear as line items within larger fresh-produce and commodity-food solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (through their boards of education) and state corrections departments procuring on behalf of their food-service operations. School districts source dried nectarines as part of annual nutrition contracts that also encompass fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and canned goods; correctional facilities incorporate dried fruit into broader cafeteria supply chains. Neither buyer category shows exclusive focus on this code's nominal product—the Commodity sits within larger food-procurement families where school nutrition and institutional food service dominate.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted IFBs in June 2026 for fresh produce covering 2026–27 school year nutrition, with response dates of June 26, 2026; neither solicitation explicitly named dried nectarines, though both encompassed broad fruit and vegetable categories. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, grains, and produce; Georgia issued a comparable statewide food-supplies solicitation the same month. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026) specified whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size with U.S. Grade B certification, signaling that state corrections departments do procure dried fruit but do not appear to have posted recent stand-alone dried-nectarine opportunities. The code shows low standalone activity; dried nectarines are absorbed into institutional food-service aggregates rather than solicited as discrete line items.
