UNSPSC 50324910: Dried autumn star nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as autumn star nectarines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324910 Dried autumn star nectarines is a Commodity code that in practice does not map to the kinds of work state and local governments are actually procuring. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code address fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services, spanning apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and other fresh and frozen items — but the code nominally describes dried autumn star nectarines, a narrow specialty item that does not appear in the solicitations reviewed. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state purchasing divisions (Georgia and Texas), and state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The scope in recent opportunities encompasses broad fresh-produce and food-commodity portfolios with case-based line items, delivery schedules, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and firm fixed pricing through multi-year contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, IFB, due June 26, 2026) solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties for three school delivery sites with a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (IFB, due June 26, 2026) requested bids for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026) solicited approximately 382 food-commodity line items for five geographic warehouse distribution areas across the state. The code shows significant mismatch between its nominal description and the actual procurement activities it tags — dried autumn star nectarines rarely surface in school nutrition or corrections food services RFBs, which indicates potential miscoding or misclassification of these opportunities in source systems.
