UNSPSC 50324916: Dried early diamond nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as early diamond nectarines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324916 Dried early diamond nectarines is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line of dried stone fruits that state and local governments procure almost exclusively for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies buying dried and fresh produce broadly — nectarines appear within larger fresh-produce and food-staple categories rather than as a standalone line item. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued bids for cafeteria food products and whole pitted dried prunes, reflecting state-level procurement of dried fruits for institutional dining. The issuing bodies are school districts, city education departments, and state correctional and food service operations — entities that operate high-volume cafeterias with standing seasonal or annual supply agreements.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. The Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB closed June 26, 2026, with deliveries to three school locations and a contract running through June 30, 2027; sealed bids opened June 29, 2026 at the Hancock County Board of Education office in Sparta, Georgia. Bridgeport's commodities bid (BNB053266) closed June 26, 2026, for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center, with contract term through June 30, 2027, and single or multiple vendor awards permitted. Both solicitations mandate Buy American compliance requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF), issued May 4, 2026, specified approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas with FOB Destination delivery and firm fixed pricing through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) for dried prunes closed February 20, 2026, requesting U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60-70 count size, 1,400 boxes minimum to a Corpus Christi location. School nutrition and institutional food service procurement under this code emphasizes volume buying, firm pricing locked for contract terms, domestic-source preferences, and structured delivery schedules.
